Ursula Reis' Obituary
Ursula (Reis) Kim passed away peacefully on Monday, April 26, 2021, at age 72.
She is survived by her husband, Kyu Ha; his two children, Mary and Eugene (Jodie); and their grandchildren, Tyler, Tanner, Madison, Grant and Luke.
Ursula was preceded in death by her father, William, and her mother, Gerda.
Ursula was born on December 16, 1948, in Nuremberg, Germany, and moved with her family to Pittsburgh as a toddler. She worked for many years at BNY Mellon, but will be best remembered working with her beloved husband, Kyu Ha Kim, in the office of Kim’s Martial Arts and Fitness in Brentwood where she was a black belt in judo. The children at the dojo, and some of the adults, knew that Ursula always had a piece of candy ready for them after class. Ursula loved animals, especially her dear panama amazonian parrot, Cookie, and loved tending to her many plants.
