Atsuko Louise McDaniel, born on October 6, 1929 (90), passed away peacefully on the morning of August 2, 2020 surrounded by loved ones who will miss her tremendously. She has rejoined her parents, siblings, husband, and many dear friends that went before her. She sadly leaves behind her two daughters, Sandra and Twila, her son-in-law; Rickey, her granddaughters; Michelle, Desiree and Angelina, her great-grandchildren; Heléna and Harrison, and many whom adored her.
Atsuko was born in Hokkaido, Japan. She pursued a career as an elementary school teacher during her time there. It gave her so much joy. After moving to the Tokyo area, she met the love of her life, Justice, who was a dashing Marine. They married in Japan and shortly after he brought her to the United States, when he was assigned to Camp Pendleton, CA. She spent her life being a wife, mother, and homemaker. After some time, they settled in Rancho Cordova, CA and watched both of their daughters grow. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, cooking, and spending a multitude of time loving her family. There are not enough words to describe how incredible she was. Atsuko will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Her 90 years of life were full of laughter, happiness, life lessons, and endless love.
