Miyo was
born on February 1, 1919, in Fife, Washington, to Daitaro Fujita and Hama Maruoka
Fujita. She was raised in Fife, but was relocated to the Hunt Relocation Center
during WWII, and later lived in Chicago prior to returning to Fife. She
graduated from Fife High School. On December 27, 1947, she married Paul
Takeuchi. After marriage, they moved to Idaho and they divided their time
between their farm in Donnelly and their winter home in Nampa. Miyo was a
homemaker, but also worked many springs at Nishitani Green Houses in Caldwell,
and many falls at the amalgamated sugar scalehouse in Nampa. Some of her
hobbies included knitting, gardening, baking, and sewing. She was widely known
for her flower gardens in Donnelly. Another passion that she had was picking
huckleberries.
Miyo is
survived by her daughter, Julie Takeuchi; son, George Takeuchi; son, Barry
Takeuchi (Beverly); grandchildren, Kimberly Drake (Roman), Alan Takeuchi (Kim),
Danny Takeuchi, and Abbey Takeuchi; and three great-grandchildren, Quinten,
Zoey, and Jaedyn Takeuchi; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was
preceded in death by her parents, Daitaro and Hama Fujita; husband, Paul;
sisters, Fusae Otsuka, Yaeko Suyehira, Shiz Yamada, and Mary Miya; and
brothers, John Fujita and Sam Fujita.
The family
would like to give a special thanks to the staff at A Tender Heart Care (especially
Cordelia, Dawn, and Nancy) who provided homecare in her latter years; and the
staff at The Cottages of Boise, where she happily spent her last month.
