Our Beloved Grandma Kay

Kyung Hi “Kay” Booth, our beloved mother and grandmother, has passed away after a two and a half year battle with ovarian cancer. Kay was born in Korea, endured many hardships of the Korean war, and met her husband John Booth while working at the military PX. She recently shared with me that she found John to be a gentleman, and a philosophical type, and these traits drew her to him. In 1960 Kay moved with John to the United States and started a family. As a new mother with fledgling English skills living in Manhattan, Kay faced many challenges at this time of her life. But as V puts it, Kay was warm, caring, intelligent, talented, and adventurous, and she soon developed a family and life of which any American woman would be proud. God bless you, Kay, for all you did for your family, as your love and commitment has enabled ours. Your bold and generous spirit will forever live in our hearts.
