Chiyoko (Joan) Tokuoka, 99

Chiyoko (Joan) Tokuoka was born on January 1, 1923, grew up in Puunene, Maui, married, and lived in Paia, Maui, where she raised 4 children. She passed away on April 2, 2022 at age 99.

She is survived by sons Dennis (Donna) and Roy; daughters Grace Masaki (Owen) and Ann Nouchi (Alan); grandchildren Lori (Brandon Tom) and Rob Masaki; and sisters Mildred Ogata and Beatrice Fujita.

She was predeceased by husband Takashi (Robert); parents Tomihachi and Ume Yokote, brothers Shigeru, Taka, Carl, Sakae and Glen and sister Hatsui Fukunaga.

She was a seamstress and also worked at the Maui Country Club for many years. She and husband loved to travel to Las Vegas. She was active in her church and enjoyed playing hanafuda, singing karaoke, meeting people and just “talking story”. We will miss her very much.

We want to thank Desiyree Corpuz and her family and Islands Hospice for their care and compassion. Private services were held. Those who wish to honor her may make a memorial donation to Makawao Hongwanji.
