Sun Pae Kim passed away peacefully on February 6th, 2026, at the age of 100, in Blue Springs, Missouri. She was born on January 23, 1926, in Chungnam, South Korea, where her journey began.

Sun Pae married her husband, Yi Man Song, in 1942, and together they created their family of eleven. After Yi Man’s passing in 1985, she showed remarkable strength and resilience.

Sun Pae is survived by her loving family: her daughter, Tok Kil (Suzie) Dowell, and her husband Wil; her son, Tok Sung Yi and his wife No Kyoung Kwak; her daughter Tok Ja Yi and her husband Won Sup Song; her daughter Soon Hee Yi; her son, Tok Chin Yi, and his wife Soon Hwa Yi; her daughter, Tok Hee Yi; her daughter, Soon Ok Yi; her son, Tok Chong Yi, and his wife Pam, and Young Howe (husband Steve), who was like a daughter to her.

Harlmoni (grandma) is also survived by 20 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren who were the pride and joy of her life, and her dear sister, Gi Bae Kim, niece, nephews, extended family, and dear friends, all of whom cherished her warm spirit and kindness. She is predeceased by her first child, Tok Soon Yi.
