For those who knew Emmaline, she was always full of energy and spunk. Her presence in any group setting was never a dull moment. She made people laugh and smile wherever she went.
In her earlier years she took up bowling back in the Tiki Top day’s and was highly considered a good bowler for a lefty. Emmaline’s passion was cooking, she loved to cook. There was no doubt that with her imagination and a can opener she could concoct an “ono” dish in a minute with no fuss.
A working mom, she held down several jobs, at the Pali Golf course where she cooked and waited tables and at Pohai Nani she was a dietitian aid. Soon thereafter, she retired to staying at home and traveling. Her favorite food…Woh wonton mein, from Kin Wah, aside her favorite food, she adored her husband of 56 years, Solomon Akau Jr. In her latter years she served and shared her time at New Hope Church in Kaneohe for several years, volunteering in the hospitality services, it was there that Emmaline had found her niche, she enjoyed not only serving the members at New Hope, but it was the fellowship with others which drew her closer to accepting Christ and faith in the lord.
Emmaline had met and made many dear friends in the course of her life time and discovered new ones as well towards the end. The Akau family would like to thank the people of St Francis Hospice for the outstanding service and professionalism Emmaline was given. Emmaline was the rock of Gibraltar in our family.
The pillar, strong by nature, the bridge that spanned and held family ties together from across the water by a golden thread, her presents will be absent from our lives but memories of her will always be in our hearts. May she lay down to rest now in peace and be apart of our ancestral foundation of those who have gone before her. Aloha a Hui Hou, until we meet again.
