JUDITH ANN HO

Judith Ann Ho (O’Donnell), 77, of Kapolei, HI passed away on June 4, 2023. Born on February 21, 1946 in Beaver Co., PA, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Jean O’Donnell. Judi was the loving wife of 56 years to Ephriam Ho and a mother to four children, Lawrence (preceded in death), Kevin, Leina’ala (preceded in death), and Sean. She was also a proud grandmother to Makenna Hernandez and Mattingly Ho.

Judi was a social butterfly, with an outgoing and vibrant personality. She met Ephriam in 1965 at a house party in Pasadena, CA, and never looked back. She loved bragging about her grandchildren, with whom she shared a special bond, and spending her days sitting on a lounge chair in the backyard, overlooking the ocean, with a book in her hands.

In her professional life, Judi began her career in 1980 as a secretary for the U.S. Corp of Engineers in Los Angeles, CA. She was transferred to Honolulu, HI, in 1984, where she continued to work for the government. She retired in 2011 as an Administrative Officer for the Department of Homeland Security.

In her free time, Judi enjoyed reading books, doing Sudoku puzzles, going to the movies, and traveling.

Judi is survived by her loving husband Ephriam, her sons Kevin and Sean, her grandchildren Makenna and Mattingly, and her brother Paul, who resides in Visalia, CA. She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Jean, her sister Patricia, and her children Lawrence and Leina’ala. Judi will be missed by her numerous nieces and nephews, as well as her friends and colleagues.
