Linda Ann Delos Reyes-Olores
She will be remembered for the sweet soul she was, Linda Ann Delos Reyes-Olores floated off into her final sunset on Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, at the age of 62, at her home in Kekaha. She was blessed to be born to Eugenio and Catalina Delos Reyes on Dec. 20, 1960, in Lihu‘e. They preceded her in death and were waiting on the other side to welcome her.
Married to Jonathan Olores, he accomplished his bucket list when he met the love of his life. Together they had three daughters: Candice Kanani (Ray) Olores-Prevatt, Evelyn “Teeta” (Brandon) Gayagas, Jonalyn “Jon-e” (Bryson Long) Delos Reyes-Olores. Then came along the school of manini who adored their grandma: Skye, Jacob, Raidon, Makanani, Kailana, Aleina Mae, Charlie, Pono, AJ, Mino, Marley and Legend. She grew up with the most amazing siblings: Eugene (Grace) Delos Reyes, Paul (Imelda) Delos Reyes, Patrick Delos Reyes Sr., Rosey Delos Reyes, Cindy Delos Reyes and John (Richard Velazquez) Delos Reyes. Add in many fun uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends, and her ‘ohana was filled with smiles, laughter and love.
We will celebrate her life on Saturday, Aug. 19, at 11:30 a.m. at the Kaumakani Park pavilion. Casual attire is requested.

Where they worked for the sugar plantation all the way until he died or they died. The son and daughter Erwin and Esther, graduate of Waimea High School Menehunes. It’s a small world. I’m pretty good at this.
But saying hi to you all. Heidi…
