She was a radiant light in our family-always ready with a warm hug and loving kiss. She valued closeness and togetherness above all, often gathering her family near to share in love, laughter, and tradition. Her memory will be forever etched in our hearts.

Beatrice was born on August 1,1947, in Ewa, Hawaii. later in life, she met her beloved husband, James Shores, while he was stationed in Hawaii with the U.S. Navy. They were married in Barbers Point, Hawaii, and soon after moved to the mainland United States, where they built a beautiful life together and raised their family.

She is also survived by her siblings Barbara Coleman and Bernadette Ahuna, and her treasured qreat- grandchildren: Kelsey, MacKenzie, Zachary, Kayden, LeiMaile, Levi, Elijah, and Joshua.

Beatrice dedicated much of her life to caring for others. She worked as a caregiver for the elderly, offering compassionate support and companionship to those in need. She also served as an assistant

in a handicap classroom, where her gentle nature, patience, and nurturing spirit made a lasting difference in the lives of many children and their families.

Throughout her life, Beatrice shared her deep love for her Hawaiian heritage. She especially enjoyed traveling, hula dancing, attending luaus, and passing on her culture and values to her children and

grandchildren. She often brought her daughters-and later, her grandchildren-back to Hawaii, ensuring they connected with their roots. She was active in the Hawaiian Club in Arizona, helping to

send her grandchildren to Kamehameha Summer Camp, one at a time, so they could experience the land and traditions she held so dear.

Beatrice had a special love for sea turtles-honu-which hold deep meaning in Hawaiian culture as symbols of wisdom, protection, and endurance. They were a beloved and personal reminder of her

island roots, and their graceful presence in the ocean brought her great peace and joy. Just like the honu, she was a guiding presence-strong, nurturing, and deeply connected to the spirit of the islands.

Beatrice never met a stranger. Whether shopping or attending a gathering, she would often be found deep in conversation with someone new, joyfully connecting and "talking story." Her warmth and generosity extended to the kitchen as well, where she delighted in preparing homemade Hawaiian dishes for her loved ones. Her fried rice and teriyaki chicken were among the family favorites.
