Her brothers, Gil Cayabyab and Mel Cayabyab, along with her nieces and nephews from all over Hawai‘i, also spearheaded the event.
All of the immediate family members were adorned in identical blue aloha shirts.
Special out-of-town guests included Emelia Rupisan of Las Vegas; Kay Locke from New Hampshire, her mother in law; Sara Lions of Boston; Evelyn Santiago and sons of Vallejo, Calif.; Jeff and Violy Lindner and girls, from Colorado; Joe and Marjorie Jerels of Texas
She and husband George Locke will relocate to Las Vegas to be closer to many of her children, she said.
