Chikuko Nakayoshi

Chikuko Nakayoshi passed away peacefully at the age of 87 on 1 April 2026.

Born in Japan, Chikuko emigrated to the United States in 1972 where she married and raised two children. She enjoyed gardening and had a particular fondness for peonies and lilies; her garden was her pride and joy. Late in life, she discovered a love for puzzles and spent her days putting together puzzle pieces.

She is survived by a daughter and four grandchildren. Her gentle soul and radiant smile will be missed.
