Becky Pualani Dalere Obituary
Becky Pualani Dalere, known affectionately as Pualani to her friends and family, passed away on July 10, 2024. Born on November 2, 1943, in Honolulu, Hawaii, Pualani was a beacon of light and joy throughout her 80 years.
A proud graduate of Roosevelt High School, Pualani's life was characterized by her love for her native Hawaiian culture, particularly her passion for the enchanting melodies of Hawaiian music and her exceptional talent for gardening. Her beautiful garden was a testament to her patience and nurturing spirit, and it became a place of peace and beauty for all who visited.
Pualani's life was a harmonious blend of love for her family. Her heart found its perfect match in her husband, Alfredo Dalere, with whom she shared a life with, married for 58 years, filled with laughter, music, and an unconditional love that extended to their children: Jolynn Ching (Tui), Alfred Dalere (Jay), and Joann Dalere (Kalani). Pualani's legacy continued to flourish through her cherished grandchildren: Jaylynn Makamae Ching (Gary), Devin Ching (Kaydee), Isaiah Dalere-Poepoe, Deigalynn Ching (Jarvis), Isaac Poepoe (Lei), Israil Dalere, Ishmael Dalere (Kailee), Samuel Ching, and Taylor Queenie Ong (Charles), as well as her adored 12 great-grandchildren.
She was a sister held in high esteem by her siblings, Florence Hintakutan (Smiley) and James "Kimo" Lake (Lois), who will remember her as a guiding light in their lives. Pualani's generous and wise nature made her a pillar in her family, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
Pualani's life was a melody composed of love, care and generosity, and her presence was a comforting embrace to those in need. She was a woman of wisdom, often sought after by friends and family for advice and support. Her generous spirit knew no bounds, and she was always ready to give of herself to ensure the happiness and well-being of others.
In her serene moments, Pualani could be found singing along to her favorite Hawaiian tunes or tending to her garden, which was as vibrant and full of life as she was. Each plant and flower stood as a symbol of the care and devotion she put into every aspect of her life.
The world has lost a truly remarkable woman in Pualani, but her legacy of love, wisdom, and generosity will continue to bloom in the hearts of those she touched. She lived a life that was as beautiful and nurturing as the gardens she so lovingly tended, and her memory will forever be cherished like the timeless melodies of the music she adored.
Pualani's family will hold her close in their hearts and memories, finding comfort in the knowledge that her love will continue to guide them in the years to come. Her spirit, as enduring and spirited as the Hawaiian landscape she loved so dearly, will remain a source of strength and inspiration for generations.
