Davelyn loved to plan parties, games, and other activities that kept her family connected. Over the years, she worked for numerous call centers and communications companies. She also provided childcare for her sisters’ children, helping raise many of her nieces and nephews. Among her many hobbies were singing karaoke and playing ‘ukulele, planning parties, making new friends, and cherishing special moments with her beloved family.
Davelyn was an incredibly strong woman supported by her faith in our Lord Almighty Jesus Christ. Her strong Christian faith was the foundation of her marriage and her life, and she is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Joyful Community Church: Maui Building Fund in honor of Davelyn Mahealani Dust. She was a faithful contributor and her goal was to see her church have a property of its own.
