Cayetana was a retired Custodial Supervisor for the State of Hawaii, Department of Accounting and General Services. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Zacarias Paet; and her parents, Sabas & Maxima Torricer. She is survived by her 4 children, Arsinia (Arsie) Anderson (Bruce), Bernard Paet (Song), Clifford Paet (Lori), David Paet, deceased; siblings, Guillermo Torricer (Dolores deceased), Demetria Tabac (Simplicio deceased), Enmerano Torricer (Helen), Marcelino Torricer, deceased (Betty Fe), Loreta Romo, deceased (Remehio); 7 grandchildren, Jamie, Dana, Matthew, Elisa, Noel, Zaffrey, Krystle; and 9 great grandchildren, Kamaleikupa’a, Kamaile, Nainoa, Kainalu, Kaila, Kailena, Brooklyn, Jerzeey, ‘Olukai. Also daughter-in-law Katherine Paet.

Cayetana will be remembered by many as a kind, generous, hard worker and spirit-filled person. She was a devoted Catholic, an active volunteer at Christ the King Church, and participated in many senior groups and church activities and ministries. She loved to work in her yard and had a green thumb growing her vegetables, fruits and succulents; and enjoyed gardening and propagating her plants. She unconditionally supported all of her family members in their education, businesses, and personal endeavors. We will miss her wisdom, her nature to explore new adventures, her manapua – balatong – fish soup, and singing her favorite song “God Bless America” that she sung with pride.
