(Howard) Umehira, sister Gladys (Thomas) Blondin and brother Natsuo (Joan) Anbe, and grandchildren Jennifer Hoskinson, Kerri (Ryan) Narasaki, Todd (Tiffany) Umehira, Jodie (Brian) Brennan, and 7 great-grandchildren.
We will miss her presence in our lives and will try to carry on her legacy of being kind to everyone we meet.
