Barbara Oberholzer Obituary

BARBARA LEI OBERHOLZER Barbara Lei Oberholzer, 96, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025. Born June 25th, 1929 in California, she was an adventurous spirit which led her to Hawaii. Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great- great-grandmother. Jack and Barbara shared many adventures around the world with friends and relatives. There is not a place in this world that we visit without thinking about the adventures they experienced. They instilled in all of us a love of travel and joy of learning about the world and its people. Barbara was predeceased by her loving husband, Jack in 2014 and survived by her children Lani Twomey, Kanani Oberholzer (Brian Mooney), Karl Oberholzer (Salika); five grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson. Donations may be made to St Francis Hospice. Private services will follow.

I remember Kanani telling me how her and husband would ride over tanilis on bikes. Omg I couldn't even do that in my 50s. She throughly enjoyed life. God bless her spirit, her family.
