Susan C. Hirano, beloved wife, mother, daughter, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home in Honolulu, Hawai`i, on April 18, 2025, at the age of 57, after a brave and courageous 3-1/2 year fight against stage 4 breast cancer. Born in York, Pennsylvania, Susan brought her intelligence, grace, and strength into everything she did. She built a successful career as a Realtor, working in the Chicagoland area, suburban Philadelphia, and in Honolulu. Her integrity, warmth and wit earned her the trust of countless clients and colleagues, many of whom became close personal friends over the years. Following her diagnosis in October 2021, Susan retired as a Realtor and became a tireless advocate for cancer patients. Her own experience led her to establish the Susan C. Hirano Cancer C.A.R.E. Community at the University of Hawai’i Cancer Center – a program that strives to support and empower patients, their caregivers and children, who are facing the challenges of cancer with resources and guidance. Susan is survived by her devoted husband, Peter; her son, Trevor; her stepson, Tyler; her mother, Jean Stine; and her brother, Dan Stine. Her memory lives on in those who knew and loved her, and in the many lives she touched through her work, friendships, and advocacy. A Celebration of Life will be held in honor of Susan in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 12, 2025 and in Honolulu, Hawai’i on August 2, 2025. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Susan are warmly invited to attend and share in remembering her life, love, and legacy. The gathering will include personal reflections, music, and moments of remembrance in a setting of warmth and community.

Community Endowment Fund, created in Susan’s honor. Any questions can be directed to celebrating.susanhirano@gmail.com. Arrangements Provided By: Oahu Mortuary |
