Lorraine Noda, age 77 lived life to the fullest and never turned away an opportunity to be kind. She passed away on November 15, 2025, but not without leaving behind a lifetime of service to others.
Once she knew you, she treated you like family. If you ever came to her home to do any type of work, she always met the crew of workers with a hot breakfast, followed by a hot lunch.
Lorraine loved Christmas and the joy the season brought to others. Each year she gifted neighbors, friends and even her hair stylist with large Christmas arrangements for their mantle or table. At the end of Christmas she would take all of them back, store them and then redesign them for the following Christmas.
Lorraine lived life to the fullest and always found a reason to laugh. Her laugh was infectious and brought a smile to all our faces. She will be missed but her gifts of kindness and seeing each person's worth will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
She is survived by her husband, Edward Noda; her children, Kareen Borzone and husband John Borzone and Glenn Keahi-Hamada and wife Diamond Keahi-Hamada; her brother Stan Mimura and wife Jennifer; her step-children Tracy Young and husband Danny and Thomas Noda and wife Christina; and her grandchildren Selah Keahi-Hamada, Alison Young, Andrew Young and Emily Egan
