Ethelwynne Rogers Obituary
1926 - 2010
Also, affectionately known as 'Eke', peacefully passed away in her daughter's home surrounded by her family on Feb. 8, 2010 at the age of 83.
She was the fifth child of the late Ernest Haakua Chung-Hoon and Kaui Kanakaole. She was born on Dec. 5, 1926 on Kapapala Ranch in Ka'u , Hawaii.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, John Keith Rycroft, her second husband, Edward Emanuel Rogers, and her son, William John Rycroft.
She is survived by four of her five children, Thomas Keith Ioane Rycroft, Patty Jean Rycroft, Robert Samuel Rycroft (Kathy) and Sandra Ann Bland (Bob), her twelve grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren.
She was the Matriarch to four generations. Ethelwynne gracefully battled cancer for nine years. She was cared for by an amazing staff of loving people at her Oncology Doctor's office in Simi Valley as well as by her son Robert and her daughter Sandra. With their care she remained brave, beautiful and strong through her last moment here on earth.
Eke forged many life-time friendships during her many active years as a member of the Simi Valley Sweet Adelines and the Channel Islands Channelaire Chorus. She was an exceptional seamstress and visionary designer of many memorable celebrations. She enjoyed music, dance, reading, football and above all spending time with her family that respected, admired and loved her very much.
A Memorial celebration of her life will be held from 12noon until 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 14, 2010 at the Rancho Simi Community Park, 1765 Royal Ave. Simi Valley.
Arrangements were entrusted to the care of the Rose Family Funeral Home 581-3800.

I met Eke when she was around 28 and I was 14. She and Jack lived across the lane from us in Kahala. Her brother Eddy and I were friends from 6th grade at Aliiolani thru Roosevelt High School.
I baby sat Tommy, Patty, and Bobbie plus one or two other kids. At least four regularly. That was usually afternoons. At night Eke and Jack and I played Trumps, our favorite card game. I remember Eke as a beautiful woman, with the sweetest smile. I adored her. I cleaned house for her when she was pregnant and just liked to hang out with the entire family. Dear, loving people. All. She will be part of my memories for the rest of my life.

Aloha Mom,
It´s Super Bowl LVII Sunday. Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles. It has been a really good and exciting game. Scores have been close each quarter. Thinking of you as I know you would truly enjoy it. Miss having you here to watch it with. I yell at the TV in your place. We watch the game every year in honor of you.
Your family here is growing and growing strong.
I Love and miss you Mom

Hard to believe it has been 12 years since you left us. Bob and I will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday, as we have been since your passing, thinking of you.
Auntie Ernie is now with you, the rest of her elder sisters and Uncle Kevin. I carry a guilt in my heart for not connecting with her when Patty left us. She is the one Aunt I should have contacted and didn´t. But I know she is resting peacefully with all of you.
I am glad that you did not have to go through what the world has these past two years. Too much craziness.
There are so many things I wish we had conversations on, so many questions to ask. Don´t know if you could have answered them, but would have loved the conversation.
I miss you Mom

Eke was a good friend and neighbor to me during the 1950's. I played many card games with her and Jack, and they hired me as a babysitter and mother's helper. They took me to the roller derby and treated me like a young sister. Eke was a sweetheart through and through and was a beautiful woman.

Today I receive a beautiful bouquet of White Orchids, White Hydrangea and White Roses from my daughter with a card stating " We come from a line of Strong Women. I am thinking of you today Mom. I Love You, Nalani Alo."
She has been my supporting rock these past weeks. You would be so proud of her strength.
Patty left us January 21 to be with you, Mike, Tommy, Billy and my dads. She was a true warrior, fighting hard to her last breath. I miss her so, my heart aches. This loss I don't think I can overcome. I wish I could be comforted in your loving arms.
Missing you Mom,

Thought of you Monday, day after the Super Bowl. Bob and I watched the Super bowl in honor of you. It was a great game this year.....you would have enjoyed watching it. We celebrated Tommy on January 28th in Washington D.C. Myself, Nalani, Celeste, Daniel and Trevor traveled to share the day with Jenna, Teddy, Amanda and Nina. It was a Beautiful Celebration and a wonderful weekend. We reconnected with Teddy and Amanda. I Love watching the cousins bond. You would be so proud of your grandchildren. They are amazing human beings.
Missing you....My Love,

Bob and I watched Super Bowl 50. You would have enjoyed it. The past MVP players were present. I remembered a few names as being some of your favorite players. You now have a couple new angels to watch sports with. We celebrate Mike's life this weekend.
Times passing lessens the sorrow. Your memory still strong in my heart.
I Love you,

Reading the Guest Book is in itself an affirmmation of what is enduring in our family. The love and traditions are what I feel all our parents wanted us to recreate, reinforce and experience in our lives. To give our hearts to another, to create a place for healthy change but most of all to touch people's lives in what is good and wonderful. This is a nice emotion. My hope is that my life can reflect everyting Auntie Eke believed most important-zest, adventure and love.

Well, it's been two years . . . and, I am still at a loss for words.
Hard to imagine that the house in Simi is no longer in the family - after all the history and all the work you had put into it. But, I guess it would never have sold without that work. (And it's good that it did, because I really needed the cash that I got as my portion - so thanks.)
Erica handled the sale - and she was excellent. You know, those kids (your grand-children) are just phenominal - every single one of them. And, they pick such phenominal people to share their lives with. I don't know how we (your kids) did it, but we did good.
Your youngest grandson spent six weeks in China this last summer on a scholar's program. He's been taking Chinese (Mandarin) since the seventh or eighth grade. Straight A student - smart, creative, popular, poised, musical, tall and good looking (like his grandfather, and maybe his father - in the old days). I wish you had had more time to know him . . .
. . . and his younger sister, your youngest grandchild - well, she just lives her life like she wants, now matter what anyone else might have to say about it. Admirable, beautiful, but sometimes vexing on the parents. You'd love her - and I know she wishes she had had more time to know you.
And, of course, their older sister (grandchilsd #6) is living her life as she sees fit, and is enjoying herself.
I am extremely proud of each of my contributions to the family (because of them, not me). I am also just as proud of all their cousins. They are a great bunch of people.
And, the family continues to grow . . .
Life is so good . . . but I miss you.

Aloha Mom,
Sandee and I went to Hilo to visit with Auntie Marie and Auntie Vi. We went down to Punaluu to visit the beautiful pond where you ended your journey home. It was a calm day, the pond was inviting, but we did not bring bathing suits - next time. It felt good to see the pond area again, reminder of the peaceful place you are enjoying. Auntie Marie says she will join you when it is her time to. I think part of me will too. I miss you Mom. My biggest regret is that you did not get a chance to enjoy the lanai you encouraged Bob to build. Hopefully Auntie Marie and Auntie Vi will get a chance to come visit. It has been a year hasn't it....
You are always with me and I will always miss you.
Love you so much

Eke had Heart.
She shared her life with a zest and always positive, glass half full attitude!
Our friendship grew through our Sweet Adeline connection.
She was:
Costume Chair extraordinaire (no hemline passed her scrutiny until perfect.)
The "night owl" - I was the "sleepy head" and only once stayed up longer than 2:00 a.m. (her bedtime)
So full of smiles it was contagious-even when someone in the front row forgot to wear underwear on our Can-Can Number (1 black, rest pastels).
A loving grammy and...it was a perfect pleasure to call her Eke, my friend.
Love,
Marilyn M.S

I first met Eke back in the 70's. She was the coach for the Pop Warner cheerleaders. My two girls had just joined and during a meeting about their uniforms I mentioned that their hems should be even for all the girls. Eke laughed and said "you must be a Sweet Adeline"! You could have knocked me over because I was a Sweet Adeline in Hawaii for five years and had just moved to Simi.
From that point on she made sure I knew whenever there was to be a show. After many years, I joined the Simi Sweet Adelines and remain a member of the organization to this day.
It should be no surprise to anyone who knew her that she was the first to teach me that is is okay for two women to hug. I had not been raised that way, but she sure got me to doing it and I still do and taught the same to my family.
Eke was always the first to volunteer when you need help, especially with a party, an afterglow or a wedding. She loved to organize and decorate all functions. She did a beautiful job on the flowers for our daughters' wedding.
Then there was the time a group of us rented a van and toured the North East. She had never been up there and was thrilled to see the snow actually falling. I think her exact words were"Oh Me Gads". We heard that from her a lot, in addition to "Oh Sugars". I find myself saying Oh Sugars now as the traditionb must be upheld!
I can't leave out the many, many birthday lunches we shared and the many, many, many, laughs we had over the birthday cards. She sure knew how to pick them.
There are WAY TOO many memories to put down on paper, but I will always hold them in my heart.
Aloha Eke, and Mahalo Nui Loas for being my dear freind.
Love and Harmony,
Peggy Staats

Thank you for planting the seeds of the most loving o'hana anyone could ask for.

Aloha Mom - I had alot to share this morning but my entries got kicked out twice. Sandee said it was her computer, but I think it was you telling me to keep it short. So the short version of my thoughts are the person I am today is because of your neverending love, patience and the strength you passed onto me. I will always miss you and I am told that is okay. You will always be in my heart. Love

My Mother instilled in me the value of keeping traditions. She did this when on my first Christmas away from home as a newly wed and mother she snuck into our house and stuffed my stocking as she had done every 18 years prior-so when I woke up Christmas morning, it would be no different than the past years.
She taught me that the greatest gift you can receive is knowing that what you have given and shared is from your heart to anothers.
I have yet grasped the signficant change in my life, knowing her physical presence is no longer with me. The traditions instilled in me will carry her with me and mine.
Her youngest child,
Your Loving Daughter,

Gammy thank you for the blessing and endless love you gave me in my chaotic early life. Never did you not show me love and kindness without bounds. Your teaching about o'hana guided me to be the best I could be for my family.
It is hard to focus on the human loss of your passing, but your eternal light is not diminished.
You will be missed here in the physical world but we shall meet you in the endless.
I love you and endlessly grateful for all you taught me about temperance and love.
"May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again"

I just wanted to say that Gammie was an amazing person! She made me feel like I belonged to the family the very first day I met her. Which was a very funny thing in itself. The first time we met was at my wedding reception, the funny part is that her grandson Trevor was not there. He was off doing his thing for the army so I was left to meet the family on my own. Gammie took it all as if it was just meant to be, she gave me the biggest hug and welcomed me into the family with no questions, no hard feelings, just love and her smile.
Through the years she has always been loving and kind to me and my family no matter how much time passed between our visits, to her,it was like we had just visited yesterday.
Gammie will be missed greatly.
Love to all who knew her and will miss her,

I have been unable to communicate with others about my mother's death . . . I have avoided the social networking accounts and blogs for the last month because I did not know what to say.
I was totally unprepared for her passing. While I was intellectually cognizant - internally, I just couldn't process.
She was a fundamental anchoring force in my life, and I have a hard time accepting that she is gone.
I know that there are many ways for me to continue to experience her presence in my life, but, I also know that I will never again be able to walk up to her house, knock on her door, have her open it, give me a hug, and then demand to know why I didn't use my own key (she always made sure that I had a key to her house, and I always forgot it).
I will continue on with my life and will adapt to her absence - but, inside, this feeling is never going to go away . . . "my mom is gone - and I just want her back . . . ."
thanks to all who have posted on this site, and to all who have visited and, perhaps didn't post because they didn't know what to say (as I did just after Nalani got it started) . . . your thoughts and words are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
May the Blessings Be

I am one of many grandchildren, son of Sandee Bland. As I have read through all of these wonderful expressions it seems we all had alot in common when it comes to my Gammie....those wonderful, strong, sincere and real hugs. I have never experienced so many consitant squeezing hugs...and she gave them to everyone. I will also miss my fellow sports fan. Not many people can say they used to watch Southern California Trojan football games sucken up a cold coors light with their lovely grandmother....well we did! I was also very forunate growing up in Moorpark to have my Gammie so close and in our lives. One of my biggest sports fans that help make me who I am today.
When I called my cousin Wayne "Vene" Chun to let him know we have lost another kapuna....his first response was....no my cousin she is not gone...she is know your amakua watching over you keeping you safe in all your endevors. She is watching over all of us as she now sings with angels next to her sister Harriet and the rest of her loved ones.
Gammie...I am so proud to say you are my grandmother. I love you with all my heart and miss you very much....A HUI HO!!!!!!!!!!!

Bracelets. That's one of the ways I will always remember my aunt. As a child I was always fascinated by how she had bracelets to match all her outfits. And not just one, many, and the earrings too. I treasure the train trip we took from Seattle to Vancouver, our sightseeing in the city and especially our time in China town. Aloha Auntie.

My special memory is the year the family went to Vegas for Haunani's wedding. We went shopping for special hats and I bought her a furry hat. Gambling at the casino with Eke and Vi was an experience because of their fun loving and wonder and the crowds that gathered to see what the excitement was. The game was family feud and the question was what is smoother (a grape or a blueberry. She won. This is one of my fondest memories.

February 16, 2010
To Eke, I was her baby sister although I wasn't the youngest. When Eke was a senior at Kamehameha School she had a class that dealt with family living. One of the things they did in this class was take care of real babies. So in 1944 at 4 months old I became Eke's and her other 20 classmates their practice baby. I attended a class reunion one year with her and her other classmates were so happy that I survived. This story always came out when we were together. The last time I saw my sister was in 2007 when Vi and I spent 6 weeks with her, that time I will always remember. I miss her so but know that now she rests in peace with no pain.
Love & Kisses,
Ernie
