Mom will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Our mother was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. Our mother was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

Growing up, Bernadette was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. She was a woman of strong faith and she instilled in us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.

A Celebration of Life and Burial of the Urn will be held on November 12, 2022, 12:45 p.m. at Kukuihaele Cemetery in Honokaa. There is a Luncheon to follow at Kukuihaele Park, also in Honokaa. 

Mom, you will always be in our hearts and we will never forget you. We love you so much. Rest in love. A hui hou... until we meet again.
