Yuna Park Obituary
Born in South Korea, Sept. 1, 1974, Yuna Park was the daughter of U.S. Army Maj. (Ret.) Roy W. Evans of Dallas, and Yumi Evans, formerly from Seoul, South Korea, and now residing in Flushing, N.Y.
Yuna attended Lehman Jackson Elementary School along with her brother, Chris Park, during the early 1980s. She later graduated from St. Francis Preparatory High School in New York City. She received her college degree, majoring in French, from James Madison University in Virginia. She was a foreign exchange student who studied French and fashion design in Paris, France, in the mid 1990s.
Yuna was a highly sought-after manicurist. Some of her clients included Madonna, Uma Thurman and many other famous fashion models and movie stars. Yuna was a very beautiful, simplistic, angelic, family oriented, young woman who wore very little makeup for a manicurist. She led a fairytale life, married to a French fashion model, Teddy Charles. She traveled the world, working mostly in Manhattan, N.Y.; Milan, Italy; London, England, and Paris, France, among other locations. She worked with some of the world's most famous fashion personalities.
Surviving, in addition to her parents, are her husband, Teddy Charles, who lives and works in New York City and is the loving father of their two beautiful daughters, Talulah, 12, and Raphael, 10; her brother , Chris Park, who resides with his wife and two children in Jakarta, Indonesia; and her step-brother, Samuel Evans, and step-sister, Sarah Evans, who live in Dallas; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
The family will receive friends from 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Peter Jarema Funeral Home, 129 E. 7th St., New York City near Tomkins Park.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. Talulah was in my class this past year at Tompkin's Square middle school and I meet Yuna only once, her kindness and love was evident even at that brief conference. I send thoughts of peace to your whole family at this time.

Darling Yuna. I have memories - your favourite Indian restaurant near my flat in Camberwell (you loved Indian food); clubbing in New York (you loved a good party); looking after your Siamese cat, Stella, and attending your lovely wedding in Paris. I will never forget you.

Yuna was so delightful - a genuine beacon in the neighborhood, always a smile and pleasant thought. My deepest condolences. I know the parents of the children who went to school with R & T will look out for both lovely girls. (Violet's mom)

Dearest Teddy, Talulah & Raphael, I am speechless and stunned as I write this! I have never met the three of you except through the eyes and smile of your beloved wife & mother Yuna! She could light up a dim room with her love of you when she spoke about the three of you! I had the short pleasure of working with Yuna through the last eight or so years as an assistant to Oribe. The last job I did w/her was Armani back in June. God, had I known it was the last time, I would have hugged and squeezed her with all my might! I had the greatest respect for Yuna as a talent but mostly as an adoring wife to you Teddy and as an amazing mother. As I said, I only know you through her eyes, smile and photo updates she would show me of her pride and joy and her true passion and commitment to the three of you, THE TRUE LOVE OF HER LIFE! MAY THE POWER OF HER UNDYING LOVE, CARRY YOU THROUGH THIS TREMENDOUS LOSS!!! SHE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOUR HEART & SOUL! THIS IS WHERE TRUE LIFE LIVES!
ALL MY LOVE!

Dearest Teddy, Talulah and Raphael,
We are James Coats' parents, Peggy and David, in Seattle.
We are so devastated to hear about our darling little Yuna. We will always remember her as a very beautiful, charming, and adorable friend, always kind, generous and loving. We are so very sorry and sad for all the suffering your family has gone through with this horrible illness, and now she is gone. My mother died of breast cancer when I was eight years old so I know the unspeakable pain of losing your mother at such a young age. We are thinking of you and our hearts are very heavy. Our love and deepest sympathy is with you, Talulah and Raphael and also with Yuna's family.
With very much love,
Peggy and David Coats
