Vilma Sanchez

Vilma was born on March 17, 1972 in Kaunakakai, Molokai. She grew up in Pukalani, but has called Kahului her home for 24 years.

Vilma was very humble, loving and so full of life. She lit up the room wherever she went. She enjoyed meeting new people and creating new friendships. If you knew her, you knew where to find her in Hale Makua. She often roamed around in her electric wheelchair blasting Bob Marley music on her speakers and participating in various activities - her favorite was playing BINGO. Those closest to her will always remember her for her love for plush frog dolls, Bob Marley music, chocolate cake, sprite, pancit and tootsie pops. She is so loved and will be missed dearly.

Vilma is survived by her parents, Lorenzo & Eufemia Sanchez; her siblings, Perl Sanchez Ramoran (Albert), Jackee Sanchez, and Clifford

Sanchez (Ruella) of San Diego; nieces, Joni Sanchez Casio, Liana-Lei Sanchez Ramoran, Hailee Sanchez; nephews, Jeremy Sanchez, Haiden Sanchez; grand nephews, Kamea’oli Sanchez, Kainalu Sanchez; and grand nieces, Kailani Sanchez, Kyla Suda and Zhyrie Sanchez.

The Sanchez Family would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Nurses and Staff of Hale Makua Kahului for their many years of unconditional love and care to Vilma.
