May 20, 2024
Kimiko Nomizu passed away peacefully in her home in Stonington, CT, on May 20, 2024 at the age of 94. She was born on October 24, 1929 in Okayama, Japan and was the widow of Katsumi Nomizu, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Brown University. They enjoyed living and traveling abroad throughout their lives. Kimiko was a gourmet cook and talented seamstress. She loved to socialize and lived a full and vibrant life, continually sharing her mischievous sense of humor. She was very proud of her children's accomplishments and never hesitated to speak of them with others. Kimiko is survived by her sister Tomoko, her children Dr. Naomi Nomizu, Yvonne Nomizu, Dr. Simone Palmer, and Raymond Nomizu; her grandchildren Patrick, Justine, Ben, Natalie, Madison, Sydney, Alden, Malin, Eilam, and Tegan; and great granddaughter Abigail. There will be a private burial in Swan Point Cemetery in Providence and a celebration of life in the near future. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Kimiko's name to the New York Metropolitan Opera by clicking here or calling 212-870-7388.

To Dr. Naomi : so sorry for the loss of your mother. It must be "coincidence" that my daughter Whitney is here visiting, as I am reading and writing this. You delivered her Mar. 8, 1980 in Geneva, Ohio and her brother Morgan on Feb. 22, 1982. Again, so sorry for your loss and the best to all your family.
