Sarah Aukai Clarose, a woman of profound beauty and faith, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024. Her life was a testament to selflessness, and aloha. She was a beacon of light, and her faith in God was unshakable.

Sarah is survived by her husband, Richard Clarose; her children, Lance Clarose and Heavenly Haunani Clarose-Budish (Drew); and her grandchildren, Brian Mikala Clarose (Crystal), Ricky Kapunakaneola Johnson (Christina), Alyssa Melelani Massie, Shayla Kanoelani Gunning (Josh), and Heather Keala Martineau (Patrick). She was the proud great-grandmother of Zariah Kamalani, Pejah Napuanani, Gianna Keala, Arianna Malani, Aubriella (Bri), Teghen Hookele, Lilliana Okelani, Raidyn Ka'eo, Jr (Aria, Rowyn), Ruben (Diana) (RJ & Leo Kekoa Ioane), Robert (Kathy) (Melody Kalaniwahine), and Rai Ka'luna Lanakila.

I am so glad to have called you my grandma. You were the sweetest person I have ever known and cared so deeply for everyone you loved. I am happy to be able to share a birthday with you, but sad because I can no longer call to tell you happy birthday. But I know you are in a better place and I miss you every day. I love you grandma clarose. Hau´oli La Hanau

I am blessed to have called you my Grandma. The Lord gave me the years that we spent with another, and you taught me so much. It hurts to know that I won't be able to speak with you again, but I know you are fullness of God's Kingdom, awaiting for for Him to welcome you with open arms, and with embrace. I look forward to seeing again when the Lord has called on me to enter His Kingdom.
I thank God that I can still hear your beautiful voice in my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I love you, Grandma. Always. Ohana.
