on many important studies, but loved her relationships with the people she brought together the

best.

Malia was a passionate and competitive soccer player, earning MVP at the University of

Portland and NAIA All-District 2 Team one year. She most recently played for “Kulea”.

Malia loved her family and friends. She loved music. She radiated kindness, embraced love,

encouraged laughter and embodied a true Aloha Spirit. Selfless and devoted, she never turned

down the opportunity to help. A fierce Mother, her daughter Pomai brought light and joy like no

other. Malia made you feel special. She listened intently and purposely. You never doubted her

character or her heart. Her Spirit will be missed. May Malia be surrounded by Love!
