Maria Kaina succumbs to debilitating illness

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs regrets the passing of its Operation 'Ohana Coordinator Maria Kaina, who died March 21, 1996 after struggling with a lengthy illness. Maria initiated the Operation 'Ohana program in 1992 when she joined the agency and has been instrumental in helping beneficiaries rediscover their ancestry with her extensive knowledge of genealogy. Her cheerful, positive influence will be greatly missed. She is survived by four children.
