23 Feb 1983 Honolulu, HI |
Lung Cancer of the Air Sacs | |

Home Room 109 National Honor Society French Club F.T.A. Hall of Fame: Best Student
Madison College |
She came to the
United States at the tender age of 17 and entered our Junior
Class in 1953, having married a U.S. Army serviceman in Korea.
To the best of my knowledge, Kim - as we called her - was the
only Asian in NNHS at that time.
For a number of
reasons, Kim did not have much time for extracurricular
activities in high school but after graduation her brief life
became one of the most fascinating, intense and rewarding
experiences of any alumna in the history of Newport News High
School. However, her life was cut short by a very rare lung
cancer; so rare, in fact, that little scientific and medical
research had been done on it. She died at the age of 49.
In her brief life,
Kim bore two children (by her first husband), Sarah and Andrew,
got her A.A. nursing degree in 1962, her B.A. degree in Asian
Studies in 1969, her master's degree in Anthropology in 1971,
and her PhD in Anthropology in 1976. In 1972 (while still
studying) she began her career as an Anthropology professor in
the Behavioral Sciences Department at
Chaminade University in
Honolulu where she was employed until her death.
In the early 70's Kim returned to Korea for several summers
to do her doctoral research. She published many papers and her
book, Six Korean Women: The Socialization of Shamans was
published in 1979. This book has been distributed all over the
world and Kim was very well respected in her field.
During all this time, she divorced her first husband and
later married Dr. Robert R. Harvey (1939-1978), Professor of
Oceanography at the
University of Hawaii.
In 1978, Dr. Harvey was lost at sea near the Hawaiian Islands,
along with all hands while doing oceanic research.
Kim's life was not all
academics. She loved to jog on the beaches of Hawaii, snorkel,
scuba dive, and had a great affection for animals. But, most of all
she loved her children, Sarah and Andrew.
Kim was one of the
very few members of the Class of 1954 we could not find until her
son, Andrew, died in a freak train accident in Minnesota in
September 2010 and his obituary was found on the internet. Andrew's
ashes were returned to Hawaii and he was buried next to his mother's
grave.
