Kimiko Takamiya's Obituary
Kimiko Takamiya passed away on October 29, 2025. She was a devoted mom as well as a doting and deeply beloved grandmother whose life was centered around love, laughter, and family.
Kimiko lovingly cared for all her grandchildren, nurturing them with patience, warmth, and unwavering attention.
