A lifelong leader, teacher and artist who devoted herself completely to her family and faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arlette was born to Albert and Olga Hew on March 28, 1945 in Honolulu. She was the older sister, protector, and BFF of brother Floyd, and sister Colleen.. While attending The Church College of Hawaii (now Brigham Young University-Hawaii), she met the charming Elvis look-alike, James Kealoha, and married in 1969. They had four beautiful children, Casson, Lance, Jamie and Kamalei (deceased). The apples of her eye are her grandchildren, Alisia, Halie and Kaili Kealoha, Alana and Lucas Leh.
Arlette was a powerhouse woman - brilliant, capable, talented, loving, generous and kind. She will be deeply missed.
Thank you to all who have supported us during our time of sorrow. We are grateful for this beautiful gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us a way of living so we can have joy in this life and that someday our reunions will be breathtaking.
A celebration of life - service for Arlette will be held Friday, July 21, 2023 at 6:30 PM at the LDS Keolu Hills Chapel, 1461 Kanapuu Dr, Kailua. A burial will occur Saturday, July 22, 2023 at 9:00 AM at Hawaiian Memorial Park Cemetery, 45-425 Kamehameha Highway, Kaneohe.
