Nobuye Nakamura's Obituary
On Friday , April 16, 2021 @ 1215pm Nobuye Suemori Nakamura quietly departed our planet Earth and passed thru the gates of Heaven , joining the soirée of family and friends who had previously passed .
“Nobuchan” was born on July 23, 1925 on the island of Oahu, raised on Maui, and remained on the Valley Isle most of her life.
Being of strong Christian faith , she and husband William were one of the many pillars of the Iao Congregational Church in Wailuku.
After retiring as office manager at Haleakala Motors, Nobuchan enjoyed volunteering at the Maui Memorial Hospital , taking painting classes at the Kaunoa Senior Center, and working out at the YMCA.
In their later years, Nobuye & William moved to Oahu, lived with their daughter & her families, attended Central Union Church’s adult day care.
She often attended Sunday services at Makiki Christian Church where her cousin is the Pastor.
Nobuye & William eventually required additional 24/7 care so they resided @ Leahi Hospital where they were well cared for with compassionate staff members, RNs, CNAs, Doctors, healthy meals, activities, outings & more. They were truly blessed.
Nobuye is survived by her younger sister Hisae, 2 children: Gwen (husband, Steven) and Don, 3 grandchildren : Kris (wife, Rene), Shaun (wife, Kami), and Lia, 4 great grandchildren : Christly, Kaizlee, Zaedis, and Naia ......all of whom loved her very much.
We LOVE you Nobuchan! You will be missed.
A Hui Hou.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16, The Bible
