Elizabeth Chai Obituary

ELIZABETH LIKAPEKA WAI'ALE'ALE PA CHAI Our beauty queen, Elizabeth Chai of Kailua, peacefully traveled her Heavenly Road on her 92nd birthday, March 21. She hele'd on, joining her son Michael, surrounded by 'ohana: husband Norman; children Mark (Makana), Marianne Leialoha, Elizabeth Morreira, Cathy (Mike) Higa, Norm (Lori), Annie (Pat) Buehler, and Lehuanani; plus some of her 15 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Elizabeth is survived by siblings Harriet Pa Nakea, Stanford Pa, and Stanton Pa. A Maryknoll grad, she loved being a school Kupuna for 20 years and a cantor at St. Anthony's church. She lived Aloha, and was known for her bubbly laugh, warm heart, sass, and beauty inside and out. "Aloha! Take care now, I love you!" Services 4/29. Contact family for details.
