Of Kailua, Oahu, passed away at home, surrounded by her family a the age of 92 on February 20, 2022.Our beloved mom lived her life enthusiastically. Prior to the pandemic, she enjoyed working out with friends at the YMCA and socializing afterwards. She loved her family, friends, grand fur-babies, cooking and feeding people, her plants (especially orchids), watching comedies and game shows, going to Las Vegas and playing dominoes. She loved to socialize and laugh whether at home, out with friends or when meeting a stranger while out and about. She had a special gift for making all that knew her feel important and loved. She will be remembered for her sense of humor and laugh, generosity, thoughtfulness, grateful spirit, bringing happiness to others and her bigger than life presence.
