In Loving Memory of Mr. Wang Mingcheng

Eulogy

Dear relatives and friends, distinguished guests,

Today, with profound sorrow, we gather here to bid farewell to our beloved family member, Mr. Wang Mingcheng. Mr. Wang Mingcheng was born on November 12, 1956, in Tianjin, China, and passed away on December 10, 2025, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, at the age of 69.

His life was ordinary, yet full of strength. As a renovation craftsman, our father’s hands created beauty. Every brick laid, every piece of wood shaped, and every stroke of paint carried his dedication and perseverance. He never treated his work casually—every measurement was precise, every detail polished again and again. With his sweat, he built warm and loving homes for countless families. He often said that renovation is about helping people realize their dreams and that it allows for no carelessness. This simple yet steadfast commitment was not only the foundation of his livelihood but also his most precious spiritual legacy to his family.

In daily life, he was the pillar of our family—a gentle and generous husband, and a father whose love was as steady as a mountain. He was not a man of many words but always expressed his care through actions. Perhaps he never spoke many emotional phrases, but the warm meals on the table, the appliances quietly fixed late at night, and the reassuring pat on the shoulder during moments of frustration were all expressions of his most profound love. With his hardworking hands, he held up the entire family, shielding us from life’s storms and giving us the very best he had.

He treated others with sincerity and was always willing to help. Whenever neighbors or friends were in need, he would lend a hand without hesitation. His kindness and warmth, like a gentle spring breeze, earned him many genuine friendships.

Now, he has quietly left us for another world. We understand that life and death are part of the natural cycle, yet the pain of separation still breaks our hearts. But we also know that our father has never truly gone far. His presence will remain in every carefully arranged corner of our homes; his teachings will be reflected in our words and actions; and his love will become starlight in the long nights ahead, illuminating our path forward.

Dad, you worked hard your entire life. Now, may you lay down all your burdens, rest peacefully, and find eternal peace in heaven.

Finally, on behalf of our whole family, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all relatives and friends who have come today to attend this memorial service and bid farewell to our father.

Thank you all.

Wang Lei

悼词

各位亲友、各位来宾:

今天,我们怀着无比沉痛的心情,在这里送别我们的亲人王明成先生。

王明成先生生于1956年11月12日,中国天津,于2025年12月10日,在异国他乡美国马里兰州石村与世长辞,享年69岁。

他的一生,平凡却又充满力量。作为一名装修师傅,父亲的双手,是一双创造美的手。那些一砖一瓦的堆砌,一漆一木的雕琢,都凝聚着他的匠心与执着。他对待工作从不懈怠,每一个尺寸都精准丈量,每一处细节都反复打磨,用汗水为无数家庭筑起了温馨的港湾。他常说,装修是给人圆梦的事,容不得半点马虎。这份质朴的坚守,不仅是他安身立命的根本,更成为了他留给家人最宝贵的精神财富。

生活里的他,是家中的顶梁柱,是温和宽厚的丈夫,是慈爱如山的父亲。他不善言辞,却总用行动表达关怀。或许他没有说过太多煽情的话语,但餐桌上温热的饭菜,深夜里默默修好的家电,失意时拍拍肩膀的鼓励,都藏着他最深沉的爱。他用勤劳的双手撑起了整个家,为我们遮风挡雨,把最好的一切都留给了家人。

他待人真诚,乐于助人,邻里朋友有难处,他总是二话不说伸出援手。他的善良与热心,如春风般温暖,也让他收获了无数真挚的情谊。

如今,他静静地离开了我们,去往另一个世界。我们深知,生死是世间的轮回,可离别之痛,仍让我们肝肠寸断。但我们也知道,父亲从未真正走远,他的身影,会留在每一个我们精心布置的家的角落;他的教诲,会刻在我们往后的一言一行中;他的爱,会化作漫漫长夜里的星光,照亮我们前行的路。

爸,您辛苦了一辈子,如今,愿您放下所有疲惫,一路走好,在天堂安息长眠。

最后,谨让我代表全家,向今天莅临追悼会,送别父亲的各位亲友、各位来宾,表示最诚挚的谢意!

谢谢大家!

In Beloved MemoryTse Ling HsuJuly 7, 1946 - December 5, 2025

Today, we gather to honor a woman whose life was marked by resilience, quiet strength, and small but meaningful acts of love. She faced many challenges along the way, yet she continued to show her care in the ways she could, through the memories she created, the traditions she passed on, and the moments of joy she shared with those around her.

Some of my fondest memories come from the simple times we spent together like trick-or-treating when I was young, a tradition she made special enough that Halloween remains one of my favorite days of the year. Those moments reflected her warmth and her desire to brighten our lives, even when circumstances were difficult.

In her later years, she continued to try, in her own ways, to stay connected and be present with her family. We saw her effort, her determination, and the courage it took to keep going. Illness can reshape a person’s journey, but it never erased her intention to love and support her family as best as she could.

I am grateful for the apologies she offered in recent times not because they were expected, but because they showed her heart. They reflected her wish for peace, for understanding, and for healing. Today, we honor that wish. We honor her humanity, her struggles, and the strength it took to face them. And we offer forgiveness, compassion, and gratitude in return.

She also gave us qualities we will proudly carry forward: her perseverance, her loyalty to family, and her ability to find light even when life was heavy. These gifts stay with us. They shape who we are and how we will remember her.

As we say goodbye, we release her from worry, from illness, and from every weight she carried. We imagine her now reunited with loved ones who went before her, laughing, smiling, and finding comfort in their presence. And yes, we hope she’s enjoying a warm meal and those KFC mashed potatoes she always loved.

We send her onward with love. We will remember her kindness, her intentions, and the best parts of who she was. And we will continue to honor her by living with compassion, strength, and generosity.

May she be at peace, surrounded by family, joy, and light. And may her memory always be a blessing.

We love you.

In Loving Memory ofCarole Lorraine KorolkoffDecember 9, 1934 - November 28, 2025

Carole Lorraine Bremer Korolkoff passed away with her family by her side on Friday, November 28, 2025 at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, MD.

Carole was born on December 9, 1934 in Newark NJ to Walter and Florence Fabian Bremer, and grew up in Montclair, NJ. She graduated from Montclair High School and Douglas College, going on to earn a nursing degree from Columbia University Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in New York city.

Carole met Nicholas Korolkoff at Rutgers University and they were married in July 1957. Together, they lived almost their whole lives in New Jersey and were fiercely proud of the state, enjoying the beaches, tomatoes, peaches and peaceful life.

Carole lived in Wall Township for 34 years, where she and Nick raised their family that included Peter (1958) and Kathy (1961). Carole was a mother and homemaker first, but also used her nursing skills in local hospitals, the Wall Township school system, Monmouth County social services and various medical-related businesses. She had many strong friendships in the neighborhood where she lived on Wall Church Road and was a member of Red Oak Women’s Club for many years. Carole was very active in local charitable organizations including the food bank, Wall Township Library, and Girl Scouts. In 1997 she and Nick moved to Four Seasons in Manasquan and enjoyed 25 years there of friendships, travel and family visits.

Recently, Carole and Nick moved to Ingleside at King Farm in Rockville, Maryland to be closer to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She is survived by her husband Nick, her son, Peter Korolkoff of North Potomac, Maryland and his wife, Jayne Latter Korolkoff; as well as her daughter, Kathy Korolkoff Whelpley of Ashburn, Virginia and her husband, Christopher Whelpley. Carole loved spending time with her grandchildren Alex Korolkoff (Kelly Botten), Jason Korolkoff (Hope Mudugno), Timothy Whelpley (Mary Sykes Whelpley), Peter Whelpley (Leyla Nehme) and Ellyn Whelpley; and her great-granddaughters Celine and Sophie Whelpley.

A special mass will be held in celebration of Carole's life on Monday, December 15,2025,1 pm at Ingleside at King Farm, 701 King Farm Boulevard, Rockville, Maryland. All are welcome to attend.

Laurie Olson

In Cherished MemoryLaurie Jean OlsonSeptember 11, 1956 - November 22, 2025Laurie J. Olson, 69, of Gaithersburg, MD, passed away on November 22, 2025, at Shady Grove Medical Center. Laurie was the beloved wife and best friend of Bob Olson for 45 wonderful years.

Laurie was born in Sterling, Illinois, to William and Mary Hollingsworth. She grew up with her siblings Lee, Glenda, and Billie. Her family moved to Corpus Christi Texas during her Junior High years and Versailles Missouri for High School where she quickly made many friends and was voted her high school homecoming queen. She attended Southwest Missouri State University where she was the president of her church's college youth group and met her future husband.

Laurie earned her nursing degree from Ozark Community College in 1982 and worked as a nurse for several years. But her greatest joy was being a mom to Angela and Mark. She poured her heart into raising them and stayed home while they were young to give them the best start in life. Later, when her kids were older, Laurie found another calling as a reading specialist in elementary school libraries in Kansas and Maryland. She had a gift for making children feel seen and loved, and she shared her passion for books with everyone she met.

Laurie adored her family, cherished her friends, and rarely met a book she didn’t want to read. She enjoyed the elegance of high tea at The Willard with her husband just as much as the silly knock knock jokes her grandsons told her.

She had a generous spirit and a heart full of kindness. Her life was a beautiful example of compassion and love, and she prioritized friendships with people near and far. Laurie will be remembered for the countless special connections she made and the way she made everyone feel like family.

She is survived by her husband Bob, their children Angela and Mark, her son-in law Jared, her grandsons Ethan and Cole, her sister Billie, and her nieces and nephews Tony and Chris, Matt and Meghan, Andy, and Logan, all of whom she loved dearly.

Though Laurie is no longer with us, her love and kindness live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her. May we find comfort in the memories we share and carry her spirit forward in the way we love and care for others.

Please join the family at the Memorial Mass on Friday, December 5, 2025, 11:00 am at St Mark's Catholic Church, 9970 Vale Rd, Vienna, VA 22181. Additionally, all are welcome to share memories at an Open House at her home, 270 Beckwith St Gaithersburg Md, on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

We invite you to join us honoring Laurie's life on this dedicated webpage. Your condolences, stories, videos and pictures will be cherished by the family and provide comfort during this difficult time. If you wish you may make a donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in Laurie's honor.
