Ok Cha made a profession of faith in her early years and she was a faithful member of the First Korean Baptist Church of Waynesville. Her whole life revolved around her church, home and work.

Ok Cha went home to be with her Lord Tuesday, January 9, 2018 in General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital of Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri having attained the age of 75 years.
