Ilima DeCosta lit a candle in memory of Harriet DeCosta
Aunty Harriet is remembered for her patient and generous gift of time in support of her Ohana, as well as through her service in faith and to the native Hawaiian community. Aunty was a fun loving spirit and I am grateful to have been a recipient of her grace.
Aunty Harriet was also a constant source of strength to the Ko’olaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club, acting as volunteer treasurer and working hard during many fundraising efforts. Aunty was always in attendance and could be counted on to be at most events early to help set up tables or arrange the silent auction items.
Mahalo ke Akua for blessing our Ohana with such a beautiful and compassionate person, Aunty Harriet will always be remembered with deep love and respect.
Drea 💜
