Hui-Son Lyons (Kim)
Feb 15, 1950 – Apr 27, 2024
Born to loving parents on 15 Feb 1950 in Suwon, South Korea,
Hui-Son was an outstanding cook and worked in the culinary field over the years alongside the military base there in the city. In March 1979, she met her future husband, Richard and in 1980 she & Richard were united in marriage at the U.S Embassy.
In January, 1981 she made the commitment to journey with him to the United States by way of her new home in Fort Polk and Leesville, Louisiana. Shortly thereafter, they were able to proclaim her devotion in their official marriage ceremony at the place she enjoyed being in the most.
To this union, four years later a son was born and was named, Peter, which meant “Rock”—Steadfast and unmovable like she was in her steady dedication to Jesus Christ.
Hui-Son loved Jesus very much and served as a deacon in the Korean Assembly of God Church, and also the Leesville Korean United Methodist Church for many years—and it is here where her spiritual statement was made, and her life’s mission was completed.
She truly loved everyone around her and her simple acts of kindness never went unnoticed through all the contributions made in the church and all around the Leesville-DeRidder community for decades.
She had an angelic voice and loved to sing praise songs. She always found herself using that everlasting passion for singing as a member in the church choirs. Her voice was strong and powerful and she remained a faithful member of the church until Jesus finally called her home. Heaven has certainly gained a true angel.
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” —Matthew 25:21
