Bonnie Aramaki, our beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend passed peacefully among loved ones on January 26, 2021, at the age of 76.

In her 38 years teaching kindergarten at Twin Peaks Elementary, Bonnie influenced and touched the lives of many children and parents. She particularly enjoyed introducing her students to different cultures through food and presentations. She was very dedicated to her students and her craft.

Bonnie loved bowling, travel, cooking and Elvis. But, most of all she loved her family. She was the caregiver, opening her home to our grandmother and mother until they passed. She doted on her brothers, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews. Bonnie loved family gatherings and the all-night poker game that ensued. Bonnie was the granter of “birthday dinner wishes” and really any wish within her power. And Mom and Dad hung the moon.

Bonnie also loved her neighborhood family and was very appreciative of everything they did.

Bonnie is survived by her step-mother, Tets Aramaki; brothers, Kay Otani, Randy Otani, Kenji Otani and Craig Aramaki (Rhonda); sister, Cathy Aramaki; sister-in-law, Becky Aramaki; and many loving nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Sei Otani; fathers, Jack Otani and Jack Aramaki; brother, Jack Aramaki; sister, Louise Aramaki; and sister-in-law, Kelly Otani.

A special thank you to Derek and Miki Aramaki, for the constant care they provided.
