Victorious Life of Mrs. Keum Soon Park February 12, 1938 - October 22, 2022

Keum Soon Park ascended to the spirit world to join her husband Chong Goo (“Tiger”) Park on October 22, 2022. She passed away peacefully in her sleep.

Mrs. Park, born on February 12, 1938, joined the church while in high school in South Korea. She took part in the 36 Couples’ Blessing.

Soon after her blessing, she and her husband went to the countryside, raised money, and built a school for the underprivileged. She wrote calligraphy to support the raising of funds to build the school. She took

great pride in her calligraphy skills and often shared how True Father once complimented her work.

In 1977, Mrs. Park and her family immigrated to the United States to CA. There, she was a devout member of the church community and supported her husband in CARP activities. In 1982, her husband passed away, and since then, she raised her nine children on her own. She was always grateful to True Parents for their support at that time.

True Parents commended her for her devotion and prayer at the time of Danbury and for her incredible faith and an exemplary, prayerful life. She set a condition by doing years of morning fasting and hours of prayer per day for the providence, family, faith, and the True Family.

Mrs. Park loved fishing and was proud about how she caught the biggest fish in a fishing challenge in Paraguay when she was there. She also loved telling the story of how she broke a record when she caught a 47” striped bass in the Hudson River.

She took tremendous pride in being the wife of Rev. “Tiger” Park and the nine children they brought into this world. Mrs. Park is survived by her seven sons, two daughters, twenty four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
