Lorraine Akoi

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Roland Akoi, and leaves behind her four daughters, Laurie Ann Smith Kaukini (Craig Kaukini), Roxanna Smith, Rolene Aina (Guy Aina), and Lyndelsa Kaipolani Akoi; her hānai children, Jessica Kuamoʻo (Brad), Darice Garcia (Louis), and Sam Wilhelm; along with her beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchild.

After retiring from the Hāna Hotel, Lorraine continued to devote her life to her faith and church. She found happiness in fishing, making leis, cooking for family gatherings, gardening, and spending time with the people she loved. Lorraine had a heart full of aloha and a special way of making everyone feel welcome, loved, and part of her family. Her kindness, generosity, and loving spirit touched many lives, and the memories she leaves behind will be treasured forever.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Lorraine’s life on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at St. Mary’s Church in Hāna, Maui. ʻOhana viewing will be held from 8:00–9:00 AM, followed by public viewing from 9:00–11:00 AM and Holy Mass from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM. Burial will follow at Puʻuiki Cemetery.

The ʻohana extends their heartfelt mahalo to Hospice Maui for the compassionate care, love, support, and comfort provided to Lorraine and her family. Your kindness brought comfort during a difficult time and will always be remembered with gratitude.

Though Lorraine will be deeply missed, her love, faith, and spirit of aloha will live on through her family and everyone whose life she touched. Forever loved, always remembered, and never forgotten.
