Kim was born on December 6, 1937 in South Korea to Geum-ye Lee and Eung-deok Kim. Kim came from South Korea to Iowa in November of 1963 to visit a Korean friend who had married an American GI.

They became parents of a son William Scott on April 24, 1968. Kim was a wonderful wife and a great mother. Her family enjoyed her amazing cooking. She was also very athletic and ran in many 10K runs, the Dam-to-Dam in Des Moines several times and a couple of marathons. She loved to golf and was very good at it. She was a member of the Corydon Ladies golf league and a member of Saint Francis Catholic Church in Corydon. She was a devoted Catholic as her great grandfather was a martyr for the Catholic Church.
