82
77, cherished and loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, friend, role model, and passionate advocate, passed away on Feb 1, 2022. Born March 17, 1943, she was preceded in death by Herman "Sonny" Brandt, the love of her life and husband of almost 60 years; father, Solomon K. Colburn; mother, Mary Lou Almeida, and brother, Solo Colburn. Her legacy will be continued by daughters Debbie Neuman (Mason) and Dawn Brandt (Byron); grandchildren, Ikaika, Kaina, Keahi, Hoku, and Kawena; eight great-grandchildren; and brothers Alex and Herbert Almeida.
Quietly exceptional at everything she did (except being "retired"), she had a passion to serve others and a knack for bringing people together. She will be forever remembered and treasured by family and friends for her kind heart, endless generosity, thoughtful conversations, inspiring wisdom, youthful wit, unwavering love, and uplifting support.
