Carol Ann Kam Yen Chang, 77, passed away peacefully at Hale Ku'ike Pali, home for memory care, on November 16, 2022, after a 10-year struggle with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.Carol Ann was born to Ruth and Walter Chang in Honolulu, Hawaii -- the eldest of four. She was a great help to her parents and grandmother Annie Chang, from whom she learned to bake such specialties as sponge cake and lilikoi chiffon pie -- still known around certain parts of Kauai and Oahu.
Carol graduated from Farrington High School. She eventually took accounting classes and found her way to W.E. Denison Corporation, a condo association management company, where she handled their books for more than 30 years until retirement.
She lived in Kalihi for most of her life, accommodating extended visits from her nephew Martin and family pets Sheila (cat) and Miki (dog). She enjoyed knitting and sewing: children in the family were often gifted a homemade quilt from Auntie Carol. She moved in with her parents in their old age, taking on the role of primary caregiver until she was no longer able to do so because of her illness.
She enjoyed watching theatre and opera, traveling (often in groups with friends and family), PBS, singing classes, reading, baking, spending holidays with family (including full days of cooking), finding seasonal decorations and ornaments at Goodwill, and watching the Late Show with David Letterman.
Carol is survived by her siblings and their families: Dennis, his wife Mabel and son Martin; sister Arlene (John) Purbaugh; and youngest brother Brayson.

She attended Kamehameha Schools and received a degree from Hawaii Business College.
The hobby that brought her the greatest joy was cooking for others. You won't meet anyone that has had her fried rice say that there's any better. She also loved to dance, whether it was hula, traditional Korean dance, or even Sugarhill Gang Apache's "Jump On It" with her son and grandchildren.
Brenda's generosity knew no boundaries. Whether you met her in the grocery store, at church, or through a business transaction, Brenda's desire to help others was paramount.
She was a quiet, pioneering woman with a thriving career which included: past President of the National Association of Women in Construction in Hawaii, teacher at the local business college, jewelry store owner, and proprietor of a real estate brokerage and escrow/ title company. Her enterprising work ethic lives on today through her children.
Brenda is survived by her children Denise Moore-McIntosh, Ira Chun, Lana Moore and husband Edward Cullen V, Miki Hardisty and husband George Hardisty Jr., and Edward Moore; grand- children Samantha Moore-McIntosh, Casaundra Moore-McIntosh, Kayla Chun, Brendan Moore, Sabrina Hardisty and Luke Hardisty; great grandchildren Carlo Moore, JaCouri Brawley, Dave V. Bass, Charlie M. Bass; and dogs Frisca and Sandee.
Brenda was born and raised on Oahu, HI, and planned to return before her passing. Her wishes were to have a service in Hawaii where she worshipped. A celebration of life memorial service for Brenda will be held Saturday, October 29, 2022 at 11:30 AM at Lutheran Church of Honolulu located at 1730 Punahou St, Honolulu, HI 96822.

Anyone who had the fortune of meeting and knowing Barbara Markesbery was one of the luckiest people on earth. Barbara was filled with grace and taught all of us what it means to live life joyfully and with wonder. Barbara Ann Abram Markesbery of Lexington, KY, and Honolulu, HI, aged 84, passed away from Alzheimer's disease on January 27, 2022.

She was a graduate of Iowa State University, a Kappa Alpha Theta, worked as a nutritionist, co-authored a book, and placed in her age group every year she ran the Bluegrass 10,000. She converted to Catholicism in the 1970s and volunteered for many Catholic charities. She delighted in all people, zeroing in on what makes someone special and magnifying it. Barbara realized a lifelong dream to live part of her year in Honolulu, a place where she met her husband Bill in 1955, and deeply embraced the aloha spirit. Barbara wanted everyone to know how much she loved them. She would want them to celebrate life, love deeply, and always share God-given abilities to do good for others. The family would like to thank all who cared for her, especially the wonderful staff at The Homeplace in Midway, Patty Moffett of Hospice, and Tamatha Clay. Donations suggested to Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and the Honolulu Academy of Art. A funeral mass will be scheduled at the Newman Center, in Lexington, later in the year. Arrangements Provided By:

It's almost a year now and we're finally laying our Dad Cosme "Frank" Lagon to eternal rest beside his devoted wife of 69 years, our mom, Josephine DaMate Lagon, at Mililani Memorial Park. Due to Covid restrictions our family was placed on a "wait-list" for Dad's anticipated celebration of life and military burial ceremony. He passed on August 28, 2020 at Queens Medical Center West.

Even after his death, Dad was recently honored and awarded the Congressional Gold Medal which was signed into law by President Obama in December 2016, for the American Filipino veterans who fought in the Philippines during World War II.

Her family and friends celebrate the life of Sandra J. Shimabukuro-Buysse, age 61, of Marshall Township. Sandy died on October 17, 2020 peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving husband and children. Although she sometimes said that she had no real passion in life, those who knew her knew better. Sandy's passion was her ohana-the family, friends, and strangers she loved and cared for so well. A devoted daughter, a forgiving wife, a fiercely loving mother and grandmother, and a true friend, Sandy's passion was a gift.
A child of Hawaii, Sandy was born on February 19, 1959 in Honolulu, the eldest daughter of the late Roy Shimabukuro and Florence Nakasone Shimabukuro. She is the sister of Jill (David) Palmer and Scott (Kathleen Chu) Shimabukuro, and the beloved aunt of Lindsay, Robin, Sky, and Toby. She graduated Punahou School before attending the University of Michigan, where she graduated in 1981. She subsequently earned an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh.
A woman of Pittsburgh, Sandy lived in western Pennsylvania since 1983, where she created a home and family with her husband of 37 years, Daniel J. Buysse. Sandy is the beloved mother of Caitlin (Abdullah Kandil) Buysse, Allison Buysse, and Evan Buysse, and the proud grandmother of Layla and Rayan Kandil. She instilled values of family, education, responsibility, and independence in each of her children.
In addition to her family, Sandy held decades-long friendships from every phase of her life. She worked for 9 years as a "cuddler" in the Magee Womens Hospital NICU, and taught English as a second language. She was a voracious reader, enjoyed travel, and made sure her family was steeped in the setting, culture, and family values of her native Hawaii.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Sandy's ashes will be scattered at Leahi (Diamond Head), overlooking Honolulu and in sight of her childhood home. Donations can be made to Animal Friends of Pittsburgh, the International Rescue Committee, or the charity of your choice.
