MARIE ARAKAWA Obituary

MARIE GRANDMA KEOHO ARAKAWA 93, of Kaneohe, peacefully left her earthy life on February 22, 2023 at her home, surrounded by family. She was born on October 11, 1929, daughter of James and Elizabeth Luhe. Marie was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Seiji Sr., son Thomas Seiji Jr. and parents. Marie is survived by daughters, Mona (Vincent) Okumoto, Barbara (Milton) Goya, Laura (Edward) Tavares; son Paul (Michelle) Arakawa; grandsons Javan (Imoani) Okumoto and Daniel Arakawa; granddaughter Rachel Arakawa; grand-doggies Wilson, Io, Delta, Caramel, Foxx and Choco. On August 31, 1963 she was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Her life's focus was to bring up her children to love Jehovah and to follow Jesus command at Matthew 24:14 to preach the good news of God's Kingdom to everyone she met. Till the final moments of her life, her love for Jehovah brought her and her family peace and comfort. Private family services will be held.

Dear Mona and Vincent,
I don´t know if you remember me, it was so long ago I left Oahu (1984).
I´m so sorry to learn of the loss of Marie, and apologize for not keeping better in touch with you folks, but I think of everyone so often, and I know we´ve lost Stanley and Harriett, too.
My love and good wishes to you both always.
I´m living in Idaho now (Hailey Congregation).
Much Agape love to you and family,
Patty (Punohu) Fos
