Marsha Au-Maxwell President of United Chinese Society of Hawaii

October 10, 2023

We at United Chinese Society of Hawaii located at 42 N. King St., in Honolulu will always remember her for painting a large Mural in our hall when she was a student at the University of Hawaii in 1955. It reflects the images of Asian Immigrants working in the fields and improving life.

I am so sorry about the loss of Beverly who made a huge contribution to the architectural world for women. The Willis family has my deepest condolences and I pray that you will be surrounded continuously with love and support. As you go through this difficult time, may Almighty God give you "everlasting comfort" (2 Thess. 2:16).
