Memorial Service Saturday for Ruth C. Wickman Wang
HOUSTON, TX (May 30, 2002) - A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday
at the Winford Funeral Home in Houston for retired Covenant missionary Ruth
C. Wickman Wang, who died May 25 in Houston of congestive heart failure at
age 82.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 19, 1919, Wickman Wang attended
First Covenant Church in Minneapolis and received nursing training at
Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago in 1948. She graduated from North Park
Junior College two years later and was commissioned as a medical missionary
at the Evangelical Covenant Church Annual Meeting in Minneapolis in 1953.
She left shortly thereafter to work in nursing and Bible teaching in
Taiwan, primarily in Ping Tung. She served as a nurse until 1960 when she
married Jonathan Wang and left the field officially in 1961. The couple
adopted Wang's nephews, Jeremy and Jason, from China and raised and
educated them in the U.S. They moved to Houston approximately 20 years ago.
Wickman Wang is survived by husband, Jonathan, and sons Jeremy and Jason
and their families. She is also survived by her brother, Marden, and sister
Marian, along with her sisters-in-law Melva, Lillian and Olga and many
nephews and nieces.
