Doina Bumbea was born on 25 January 1950 in Bucharest, Socialist Republic of Romania.[1]
Bumbea was married to an American defector James Joseph Dresnok. Their marriage was forced in the early 1980s by the North Korean authorities and Bumbea has been said to have been unhappy with it. She had two children with Dresnok, Theodore Ricardo Dresnok, born in December 1981; and James Gabriel Dresnok, born in February 1983. Bumbea died from cancer in January 1997 in Pyongyang, isolated from the outer world. Her husband died in 2016, while her two children would become soldiers in the Korean People's Army.[2]
