Known as Lahaina Ma, she was born in Puunene in early June of 1948.
She was the glue of her ohana, enjoyed camping, beach cookouts, and shopping for any kine. Firmina was a loyal, hardworking, and loving mother, aunt, friend, and colleague to many. Especially known, to spoil her grandkids the most, whenever she could; and remembering birthdays like the back of her hand. She never missed a birthday phone call to loved ones. She was blessed with culinary skills, worked at the Maui Mariott, and retired making Ono poke at Safeway in Lahaina.
Firmina was predeceased by parents Felix & Petra Lomaoang; siblings Peter, Florence, Francisco, and Fernando Sr. Lomaoang; and her lifetime companion Joseph âJoeã Kobatake. Napili Joe is now reunited with his Napili Girl. She is survived by sons Alfred, Sean (Stacy), and Derrick (Jocelyn) Ribucan; hanai sons, Dean âKaleoã (Jaimie) Kobatake, Dwight (Kanela Dean) Kobatake, and Dwayne (Mary-Ann) Kobatake. Her legacy lives on thru her 12 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
Mahalo to Hospice Maui, for the help and care during her last days.
