Masako Agari Obituary
Sept. 22, 1919 - March 20, 2019
Masako Agari, age 99, passed peacefully on March 20, 2019 at Hospice of San Joaquin. She was born on September 22, 1919 to Masataro and Masuye Tabuchi in Stockton, CA. She attended Stockton High School and continued her education, receiving her BA from U.C. Berkeley in 1940. After college, she returned to Stockton to help her parents operate a dry goods store (M. Tabuchi Co.). By June of 1942, Masako and her family would be interned in Rohwer War Relocation Center, Rohwer, AK. She would return to Stockton after the war. Masako married Junsuke Agari. They were happily married for over 61 years. Masako was preceded in death by her husband Junsuke Agari, her brother George Shoji Tabuchi, and her sister Shigeko Sakai. She was the beloved mother to Tadashi Agari, Tomiko Varga, Atsushi Agari (Wendy), and Susumu Agari (Leng). She was the devoted grandmother to Yukio Varga, Emerick Varga, Kimiko Agari, Kristi Agari and Kenji Agari. Masako was interred at San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery with her husband Junsuke on April 1, 2019 during a private family ceremony.

Alex and family, my heart and my prayers are coming in your direction.
As you know I knew your Mother and Father because I am married to the sister of Dan's first wife Sandy, on many occasions over the last 52 years I had the pleasure of meeting both of your parents.
Only those that have experienced such a loss would understand the true loss.
All my love to you and your family,
Always your friend,
