Toshiko Hebert

Toshiko Hebert, 95, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 13, 2026, at home with her family by her side. She was the loving wife of the late Louis F. Hebert. Born on March 6, 1931, in Manchuria, China, Toshiko was the daughter of Japanese parents.

She later moved to Japan where she pursued her education and attended college to become a nurse, beginning her nursing career in Tokyo. It was there that she met her future husband, Louis, who was stationed in Japan while serving in the United States military. Although she was initially reluctant, Louis' persistence and devotion eventually won her heart, and the two began dating. Their love grew, and they were later married, beginning their life together in the United States.

She enjoyed many simple pleasures that reflected her warm and thoughtful nature. Toshiko loved crocheting and reading, and she found joy in watching sumo wrestling, which reminded her of her homeland. She was also a wonderful cook who enjoyed preparing meals for those she loved. Above all else, she cherished the time she spent with her family.

Toshiko was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who took great pride in her family. She was the beloved mother of Louis G. Hebert and the cherished grandmother of Kristen Hebert and Serey Rath. She was predeceased by her siblings.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours on Friday, March 20, 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Carpenter-Jenks Funeral Home, 659 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick. A Catholic Prayer Service will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in the funeral home. Burial will follow at the RI Veterans Cemetery in Exeter.
