She dedicated her life to accepting and valuing each and every family member. A quiet and thoughtful woman, she was resilient, talented, and independent.
A longtime resident of Seattle/Bellevue, she was preceded in death by her husband, Sadamu Ishimitsu and her two sisters and one brother. She is survived by her children Susan Stimac (Gary), Sandra Ishimitsu, Nancy Cho (Casey) of Bellevue, WA; and John Ishimitsu (Angie) of Newcastle, WA; 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
Per her wishes, a private graveside service will be held at Sunset Hills Memorial Park, her final resting place.
