Amy Im Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jul. 4, 2025.
Amy Young Ae Im, age 82, of Newark, Delaware, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 3, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Ganggyeong, South Korea, Amy was the daughter of the late Sun Hee Kim and Hung Sung Paik. In July 1977, Amy immigrated to the United States and took on the role of a working mother, raising her young family while working as a seamstress, even after the early death of her husband, Won Sun Im. She worked tirelessly to raise her children and, in the decades that followed, her grandchildren as well. She played a special role in the lives of her grandchildren, for whom she was always a source of love, support, and delicious home-cooked meals.

Amy was a faithful member of the Church of Love in Delaware, where she served as a deaconess and sang in the choir. Her love for music and cooking brought her happiness and comfort, and she cherished time spent preparing and sharing meals with family and friends. Above all, Amy's greatest joy in life was her family-she treasured every moment with her children and grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Amy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Won Sun Im.

She is survived by her son, Bin Im; her daughter and son-in-law, Jamie Im and Erberto Viazzo; and her grandchildren, Joseph Im, Eugene Im, and Elena Viazzo. She is also survived by her brother, Dae Yun Paik, as well as many dear relatives and friends whom she held close to her heart.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Church of Love in Delaware, 296 Pencader Drive, Newark, DE 19702, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by a funeral service at 6:00 p.m. Burial will take place privately.
