Yolanda (Bunnie) Garma Baldwin
Yolanda (Bunnie) Garma Baldwin of Kapahi, born April 29, 1941, passed away on Aug. 28, 2019, at the age of 78.
She survived by her husband of 27 years George Baldwin; brothers, Richardo Garma Jr. (Carol) of Hanalei, Norbert Garma of Hanalei; sisters, Rosalina Linda Ancheta (Ernie) of Kapahi, Leona Lemn of Anahola; cousin Sally Abe; many nieces, nephews and close friends.
She was preceded in death by parents Ricardo and Marciana Garma of Hanalei.
Bunnie was born in Lihu‘e and raised in Hanalei. She attended Hanalei Elementary and Kapa’a High School. She loved children, fishing off of the Hanalei Pier, family gatherings and she looked forward to the Garmas’ Annual Christmas Parties on their family taro farm, year after year.
Bunnie was a self-taught artist and she mastered landscape paintings which now cover the walls of their plantation home for family and friends to enjoy. She was a very serious health and fitness gal in her prime. Other hobbies and interests she had was getting up early every Saturday morning in search of wonderful deals and treasures at garage sales throughout the island with her sisters and friends. She repurposed these finds and decorated their home interior with an accent of a vintage look. Bunnie was a wonderful cook, homemaker, and a true Proverbs 31 wife, who loved to sew and make beautiful things out of fabric as well as creating custom jewelry.
Lastly, Bunnie loved plants! She gathered plant clippings from throughout the island and in a short time she and her husband turned their yard into a vibrant and thriving small scale local botanical garden. Her plants and vibrant back yard was her special place where she found much tranquility, relaxation, and had endless talks with her Lord and Savior Jesus, who she resides with this very moment.
Yolanda (Bunnie) leaves a lasting legacy of being one with a soft voice, gentle words, and slow to anger. Her passion for plants and greenery will live on in many backyards throughout the island from clippings from her backyard.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, Sept. 7, 2019, at 10 a.m., with a luncheon to follow at their family home in Kapahi, 7290 Kahuna Road, Kapa’a.
