On Friday, May 3, Star Alameda, educator and wife of Hawaiʻi County Mayoral candidate, Dr. C. Kimo Alameda, passed away at age 55.
According to a press release, Star was found unresponsive and despite efforts from Hawaiʻi County EMS personnel, she was unable to be revived.
Star, who was a mother of seven as well as a grandmother, was born in Hilo. She was the daughter of the late Herbert Ishibashi and also survived by her mother Mona Ishibashi, brothers Sky (Tina) Ishibashi, Herbert Pua (Gloria) Ishibashi, and sister Roxy Tubbs. Star’s children include Angel Alameda, Kekaulike Alameda, Seizen (Tavita) Ika, Kekaukahi Alameda, Kekaulana Alameda, Kira Alameda, and Kimo Alameda Jr.
Before joining her husband on the campaign, Star taught reading at E. B. DeSilva Elementary and volunteered as a Sunday school teacher at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She was well-known in her community for her kindness, generosity, and love of children.
In a statement, Dr. Kimo Alameda said “Star was the light of my life and the backbone of our family. Through everything, she stood right by my side as my number one supporter and advisor. Her memory will continue to shine on to everyone who was lucky enough to know her.”
When asked about the campaign, Dr. Alameda stated that he intends to continue, but “my immediate focus right now is to be with my family as we remember Star.
Updates on any services or arrangements will be forthcoming.
