JANE KIMURA Obituary

Jane Kimura Took her last breath on January 24, 2011 in Gig Harbor, WA where she proudly resided for many years. However ageless in years she is timeless in her strength, courage, resilience, patience, wisdom and grace. Born in Bellevue, WA she was the eldest of 6 children. She was an adoring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie and friend. She loved her family, her flowers and saw the beauty in all living things. In her journey she was predeceased by her father and mother, Kanji and Tame Hayashi and her brother Leo Hayashi. She is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years, Kaz Kimura, her children Mark and Aja Kimura her granddaughter Ariel Kimura her siblings Rae Shiratsuki, Tom Hayashi, Flo Tomita and Emil Hayashi as well as nephews and nieces. Smart, creative, artistic and committed to her family, friends and community her talents were effortlessly applied to everything she did from baking a pie, to hosting a luncheon with all the delicate handmade personal trimmings, to designing, creating and modifying all of our apparel. She was kind and generous to everyone she met and her bright cheerful smile will be dearly missed and remembered each and everyday.
