Presilda "Pearla" Pedro Doctolero's Obituary
Presilda Pedro Doctolero aka: “Pearla,” 70, of Mililani, Hawaii passed away peacefully surrounded by her Ohana on March 13, 2026. She was blessed to be born and raised on the north shore of Oahu in Haleiwa-Kawailoa, Long Bridge, and Waialua a place she held close to her heart.
Pearla was a dedicated mother, grandmother, sister, aunty mom, and friend. She was, in every sense, the sweetest soul you could ever meet—someone who carried the spirit of “Miss Aloha” wherever she went. Her warmth was immediate, her kindness genuine, and her presence unforgettable. She had a rare gift for making people feel seen and heard, always taking the time to listen, to comfort, and to uplift.
Family was the heart of her world. She poured her love endlessly into those closest to her, creating a home filled with laughter, support, and unwavering care. Her grandchildren, especially, were her greatest joy. They meant everything to her, and she made sure they always knew how deeply they were loved.
She lived life fully and intentionally, embracing each moment with grace and appreciation. Whether through small everyday gestures or the lasting connections she formed, she left an imprint on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Her legacy is one of love, compassion, and the true meaning of aloha—a legacy that will continue to live on in all of us.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
