Hideko, or Grandma as she was known simply to us grandkids, was a truly one of a kind woman. Her kindness and generosity knew no bounds; the warm, utterly unconditional love and endless gifts she bestowed on us made for some wonderful childhood memories I wouldn't trade for the world. Trips to Grandma's House -a humble but immaculately kept buttercream yellow split level- were the highlight of many a week growing up, and in more recent years as well. For being able to talk to her on an adult-to-adult footing revealed a regrettably sparse glimpse into the wisdom and brilliantly cynical humor she'd acquired over her many years. Being able to spend time with her in either context was a true privilege.
Outwardly reserved, Hideko had developed a variety of skills that would give most professionals a run for their money. A great homemaker, clever and inventive cook, master gardener, her true bread and butter were her sewn handicrafts and oil paintings. She handmade much of my childhood wardrobe; soft, warm, top quality garments that matched her demeanor and unique sense of style. Her home was decorated with her own classically-influenced oil paintings, beautiful scenes and studies spawned straight from her imagination. I owe my own artistic proclivities to her influence and support.
While she'd always seek to downplay her significance, Hideko left her mark on the world in her own special way. I love and miss her dearly, and hope that she is enjoying the rest that so often eluded her in life.

Youko, Anthony, Emmanuel, Donald, Hailee and Drew,
I have memories of your Mom and Grandma when she first came from Japan. I remember her as being very sweet and shy, especially about using her English. She did a great job, once I was used to her accent! She was a very devoted Mother and had great pride in her children. She taught me how to use chopsticks! I remember her little chuckle and her good sense of humor. I remember her talent in crocheting when she made a sweater, hat and booties for Youko before she was born. She was so looking forward to her new baby! I remember her amazing sewing skills when she had a little business of making skating costumes for Youko’s club! They were beautiful! Hi was always very industrious, not a sitter, even when it was harder to get around due to the terrible car accident she survived. She handled herself with dignity and was respectful to those around her too. I remember when she asked Christ into her heart and was baptized and I remember praying with her numerous times.
She poured her life into her loved ones and will be sadly missed. She is safe in the arms of Jesus now.
