Kane Ota Garrison Obituary (2025)

Kane (Connie) Ota Garrison passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Saturday, February 15, 2025. She was born on December 14, 1932 in Okuma, on the island of Okinawa, Japan. She attended school in the city of Hentona. She began working at the age of eighteen, as a house maid for a U.S. civilian family. She later went to work for her uncle at his drug and clothing store. Kane met her future husband on the beautiful island of Okinawa, Japan. She fell in love with Loral's warm and gentle heart. He was the love of her life. Even though Kane only spoke Japanese and Loral spoke only English, they fell in love and were married at the American Consul on August 3, 1959. Upon completion of her husband's military obligation, she came with him to the U.S. and began living in Zillah, WA. Shortly after that they were blessed with two children, Melinda and Kalen. In 1965 she started working at Stokley Van Camp in Zillah. When the plant closed, she went to work at Inland Fruit in Wapato until her retirement. Kane was happily one of Jehovah's Witnesses and had full faith in the promise of a paradise earth which many will enjoy, including ones who have died that will shortly be resurrected back to life. Kane was full of energy and very hospitable to everyone. You could never leave her house without first being treated and fed like a king. She was an excellent self-taught seamstress and spent many happy hours sewing for her family. She took an ancestry test in 2019 and found out that she was 100% pure Japanese. She was not only a good person but a wonderful wife, mother, and grandma. She passed on the most important thing in life, love for her family and for everyone she met. She was truly loved by all and especially her family. Kane was preceded in death by her husband Loral, her father, mother, and four brothers. She is survived by her brother Kenzo (Miyoko), her daughter Melinda (Dennis), her son Kalen (Donna). She is also survived by her many beautiful grandchildren and great-grand child, who were the joy of her life. At her request no services will be performed.
