Yo Peacefully passed away on November 12, 2023 at 100 years old and is now with the Lord. She leaves behind her sons Mark (Leila) and Jay (Katy) and 3 grandchildren. Her dear husband Ted Uomoto, both of her parents, Akigo Doi and Kina Nakagawa, her beloved brothers, Jim and Bill, and very dear sister, Iky have all preceded her.
Yo grew up on a farm in the Woodinville/Redmond area and later her family had to abandon the farm to be interned at Tule Lake along with thousands of other Japanese Americans. She married Ted in 1952. and raised her 2 sons in Seattle, Washington. She worked for many years and retired from the National Park Service. Following her husbands death, she enjoyed deeper fellowship with Iky and the Japanese Presbyterian Church ladies. In her later years, Yo moved to and enjoyed the wonderful caring and loving staff at Nikkei Manor assisted living facilities.
Memorial service will be held at Japanese Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Nikkei Manor Employee Fund.
