Chong loved pets, especially her three dogs, Mario, Max and Sherman. She was a member of the Michiana Korean Church in Elkhart and enjoyed helping others. She was known by her family to have a "big heart," and was caring and generous, because she would often give to others in need, even before her needs were met. She will be missed greatly.
