Myong Suk "Kim" D'Anjou

NAHANT, MA -- Mrs. Myong Suk (Kim) D'Anjou, 64, passed away peacefully on the morning of June 17, 2010, in Nahant, Mass., after several years of suffering with Alzheimers. She was known to most everyone in the area as Kim D'Anjou. She was born on September 2nd, 1945, in Yeosu City, South Korea. She moved to Canaan VT in the mid 70s where she married Ernest D'Anjou. They moved to Colebrook in 1977. Ernest operated Ernie's Barbershop and Kim operated Kim's Sport Shop on Main Street until the late 80s after Ernest passed away. She was a resident of Colebrook for 30 years. In 2007, with a diagnosis of Alzheimers, she moved to Massachusetts where she could be cared for by her stepson, Marcel D'Anjou, whom she raised from 6 years old. Kim enjoyed crocheting, knitting, fly-tying, fishing, gardening, berry-picking, practicing English, and reading the Bible. She also liked to watch nature/animal shows, religious movies, action movies, and shows like “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” She loved children. She spent much time alone after the deaths of her two husbands, but she did enjoy spending time and sharing a laugh or two with friends. Although sometimes of stern character, she was also sometimes just as sweet. She was an independent, hard-working woman, and she is loved, and will be missed by her friends and family. She was predeceased by her mother Jum-Yea Kim, and her father, Bon-Dong Kim of South Korea, by her first husband, Ernest D'Anjou in 1985, and a second husband William Concannon. She is survived by her two step-sons, Marcel D'Anjou, of Lynn, Mass., and Daniel D'Anjou of Manchester, NH; and by two sisters, Pil-shin Kim and Jung-Ja Kim of Yeosu, South Korea; and a brother Eui-Jun Kim of Seoul, South Korea.
