Paternal Grandmother  February 22, 1920 - September 8, 1986
Tutu Annie was born on February 22, 1920 at Lahaina Maui, Hawaii. Though she was born and raised in Lahaina, Maui, she lived most of her life in Hilo town. During her
later years her home was a few lots before the Papaiko Sugar Mill on the Big Islands Hamakua coast. While fishing with her at the breakwater near Keaukaha, she would
only use a long Bamboo, in a just a few hours her cooler was filled with different varieties of fish, ie Hinalea, Kole, Aweoweo, Aholehole. We spent our summers with
her at Kolekole (Honomu), Leleiwi(Keaukaha), Samuel Spencer (Kawaihae), Mokuula(Coconut Island) beach parks.

Reinternment Ceremony Waiola Church, Lahaina - October 17, 2009 Tutu Abels' remains had been previously relocated to Wainee Cemetary from the Big Isle in 2007. Tutu Meli Kahiwa his wife, and Tutu Lele his daughter were buried at the Makekau Family plot near Kelawea street in Lahaina. The Kelawea site lacked public access, so on October 17, 2009 two sets of remains were relocated from the Makekau Family plot to Wainee Cemetary. Tutu Meli Kahiwa and Tutu Leles' remains were exumed from the Makekau Family Plot and reinterred to Wainee cemetary. My kupuna Mele Kahiwa & Abel Keliionuuanu Makekau, the First generation of the Makekau Ohana were again reunited at Waiola Church grounds where Tutu Man Abel served as a deacon all of his life. For me this was a reality check & my introduction to the Makekau Ohana, truly an unforgettable experience. I had met Aunty Leialoha Apo Perkins through the website, she invited me to attend the reinternment ceremony in Lahaina. Not knowing anyone else but Aunty Leialoha & Cousin Leilani Oliver Chung I flew to Maui. I attended the ceremony with my Aunty Maile & Uncle Lauren on my moms side and was asked to participate as a pole bearer, I met Cousins, Aunts and Uncles I never knew growing up, learned more about the Makekau Ohana, and their legacy in Lahaina. |

Memorials
On October 16, 1907 Tutu Abel Makekau was traveling from Kukuiha'ele back to Lahaina after visiting with his daughter Jennie "Kini" Makekau Saffery on the big island. His return to Lahaina would be delayed, while on his way back to Lahaina he suffered a Heart Attack and passed on near Kaauhuhu homestead. In 1907, there was no refrigeration, and no airlines in other words there was no way to safely transport his remains back home to Lahaina. He was buried in Kukuiha'ele cemetery near Waipio Valley. In 1953 to make way for a new highway, his remains were moved from Kukuiha'ele cemetery to the middle of a sugar cane field. 100 years later On May 29, 2007 the Makekau Ohana, under the guidance of Uncle Norman Nakamoto arranged for Tutu Abel's remains to be reintered into Wainee Cemetary in Lahaina, from the Big Island. |
