Charmaine's obituary

Charmaine Luana “Charlie” Bruhn

Charmaine "Charlie" Luana Bruhn, 92, of Honolulu passed away peacefully on Nov 5, 2024, in Honolulu with family members at her side. She is survived by her sons, Tevet, wife, Marsha, Steven, Lyman and wife Sheila, Blaise and wife Michelle; daughters, Jermaine and husband Chris Wendt, Amy and husband BJ Kailimai, Malia and husband Edward Millan, Bridget and husband John Lokken; 24 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by husband, Jerry.

Charmaine was a loving mother and inspiration to all who met her. She was a devout Catholic and a free spirit with unmatched positivity and compassion for others. Charmaine and Jerry were very involved with many Oahu churches and provided services to the community. After attending the University of Hawaii and getting married to the love of her life, Jerry’s job as a government civil servant led them to live abroad in the Philippines, Taiwan and Panama. Her love for travel and adventures continued late into life, as she lived in Washington state, Germany, Georgia, Alaska and Florida before settling back in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

Charmaine was a loving mother, grandmother, and friend who touched the lives of many with her kindness and warmth. She was known for her unwavering faith and was an inspiration to all who knew her. In times of joy and hardship, she found solace in the words of Psalm 139: "If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
