Ikue (Kishi) Iseri, born on February 3, 1922, in Portland, Oregon, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her four children on April 20, 2023, at the age of 101.

During World War II, Ikue was interned at Tule Lake camp, where she met her husband, Dan. He was the chief cook and she was the head waitress on their block. They fell in love and built a life together, raising their family in Ontario, Oregon.
Ikue was an exceptional craftswoman. She enjoyed crochet, cross stitch, knitting, sewing, gardening, painting, playing cards, and even bowling. Her cooking was exceptional.
Ikue will be remembered for her kind and loving nature, her intelligence, her unwavering determination, and her sense of humor. She was a "giver," and touched the lives of many. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
A memorial service for Ikue will be held on Saturday, April 29 at 4 pm at Ontario Community Church.
