Sarah Kala Huihui was born at home in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, 'Oahu, Territory of Hawai'i on November 8, 1917. She was married to Leo J.

Sarah was preceded in death by her husband Leo, two sisters and 5 brothers. Sarah graduated from McKinley High School, Honolulu, Hawai'i in 1936. During the 20 years of Army life the family traveled all over the U.S. and did a tour of duty in Panama. The family moved to Kennewick, Washington in 1956 when Leo retired from the Army. She worked for Battelle as the secretary to the head of Security for 12 years. Sarah was a lifetime member, past president, Secretary, and Treasurer of VFW Post #5785, an avid gardener, and a volunteer at the Kennewick Food Bank.
