Death of a loved one as seen through the eyes of survivors is a physical death, however, death as seen through the eyes of a loved one passing, is seen as being set free from heartache and pain, be it mental or physical.

Daisy Puanani Keohohou-Kelly, 87, of Lawton, Oklahoma passed away Saturday July 4, 2020. She was born February 9, 1933, in South Kona, in the Territory of Hawaii. My mother's ancestry was that of Hawaiian Royalty by way of Marriage. My mother was a selfless woman, giving to all, feeding anyone who entered her home whether they wanted to or not, she was thought of as the neighborhood mother, the house where children gravitated to, but more importantly, she was a social butterfly.

My mother's strength came from her faith in God, she loved her children, would discipline us when needed, but more importantly, she was proud of her children's accomplishments. My mother was happiest when she was around people, she made friends easily, and her passion to teach Sunday School brought her joy, along with acknowledgment from peers regarding her dedication and contribution for her service to the Ministry. My mother loved life, she loved having her family around for the holidays especially Easter and Thanksgiving.

Daisy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Grant Joseph Kaohinani Kelly, Sr.; daughter, Alberta Sandra Napoleon Cote; son, George Clark Kelly and a cousin who was more like a brother, Wilfred Kekaimalino "Pineapple" Grace.

She is survived by her 5 daughters: Irene Kelly-Puccino of Lawton, OK., Wanda Costa of Williamsburg, VA, Annette Kelly-Mossa of Danville, VA, Hollylynn Kelly of Oklahoma City, OK, Margaret Mays of Elgin, OK; two sons: Grant Joseph Kaohinani Kelly Jr. of Oklahoma City, OK  and Edward Bruce Keohohou of Charlotte, NC.  Daisy has 14 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

Mahalo mother, we miss you dearly but most of all you are loved so very much! Well done good and faithful servant until we meet again…your loving Ohana!
