While working at the responsible posts of state economic organs and educational institutions for a long period, she devoted all her wisdom and enthusiasm to pushing forward socialist economic construction and developing the education of the rising generations.

She received many state citations including Order of Kim Il Sung for her feats for the Party and the revolution.

Her obituary was issued Friday in the joint name of the C.C., the WPK and the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK.
