Shizue Kuniyasu Obituary
Resident of San Francisco
Ms. Shizue "Sue" Kuniyasu passed away peacefully on November 7, 2010 at San Francisco General Hospital at age 89, with her niece and nephews at her bedside.
A private funeral service was held with immediate family on November 17, 2010 at the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin. Ms. Kuniyasu was interred at Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, next to her mother, Mrs. Haya Tashiro.
Ms. Kuniyasu is survived by her sister, Alma M. Shiomoto, brother-in-law Sam S. Shiomoto, niece Gail Shiomoto-Lohr and her husband Steven C. Lohr, nephews Gary Shiomoto, James Shiomoto, Jun Shiomoto and Eugene Shiomoto, and great-niece Brianna Lohr.
Ms. Kuniyasu was born in Santa Clara, California in 1921. With the untimely, successive deaths of her father and step-father while in grade school in Monterey, California, Ms. Kuniyasu and her sister re-located in 1934 with their mother to Hiroshima, Japan for their secondary education. After World War II, they were able to return to California.
Ms. Kuniyasu worked for the accounting firm of Main, Hurdman & Cranstoun (now KPMG) in San Francisco for 25 years before retiring in December 1980. Ms. Kuniyasu was a resident of San Francisco for more than 55 years, and a devoted San Francisco Giants fan. It is both fitting and proper that Ms. Kuniyasu lived to see her beloved team, the San Francisco Giants, win the World Series on November 1, 2010.
Ms. Kuniyasu was preceded in death by her husband and her toddler son, both of whom died in 1945 at Hiroshima, Japan.
