PARK, JungHee - Died peacefully on Sunday, January 31st, 2016 at home at the age of 51 after living courageously with cancer for a year.
After finishing graduate studies in theology at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea, she worked with labourers marginalized in the process of the industrialization of the country through Sandol (Living Stone) Presbyterian Church and Cultural Centre for eight years.
After immigrating to Canada and preparing for ministry through the Centre for Christian Studies, she was commissioned as a Diaconal Minister and settled into Fingal United Church in 2005. While working with that congregation, she began a program toward a Doctorate in Theology at the Toronto School of Theology in 2008.
Her research explored an alternative concept of diakonia as companion rather than that of servant. Her most recent ministry was with the congregation of Trinity United Church in Grand Valley.
Beloved partner of Hyuk Cho and loving mother of Saepom and Luke.
Visitation will be held at Trinity United Church (70 Mill St. E. Acton, ON.) on Saturday, February 6th at 2 pm before a memorial service at 3 pm.
Donations to the Centre for Christian Studies (Woodsworth House, 60 Maryland Street, Winnipeg, MB R3G 1K7) would be appreciated by the family.
