Daughter of Hawaii
Malawaina was a daughter of Hawaii. Raised in Kaimuki by parents Robert and Sybil Andrews. Malawaina was the oldest of their family of five children, siblings Sybil Kealoha, Wanda Hooulu, Robert Jr. and Weedonette Pomaikai. It was a happy family that filled their little two bedroom home with love, laughter and music.
Malawaina and her extended Ohana (family) of aunts, uncles, and many cousins spent hours together at Ke Alaula Oka Malamalama Church on Cooke Street. The parsonage was her grandparent’s home, so many a celebration was held there. She could be counted on to sing hymns and songs in harmony with her family. In any given service, her beautiful soprano voice could be heard in the choir or congregation.
Another precious memory of Hawaii was the time spent in Waimanalo at the home of her very special Aunty Hannah and Uncle David Harris. They lived across the road from Waimanalo Beach and summers meant swimming in the ocean and playing in the sun with friends and family.
After graduating from Kaimuki High School she moved to Northern California to attend college. She was accompanied by Aunty Hannah, Uncle David and her sister Wanda. After her two year course of study she returned to Hawaii and quickly settled into a career as an Administrative Assistant at a local hotel. She met and married Terry Kramer. Soon they were joined by her first daughter, Monique Naomi Kramer. Although she was successful and dearly loved at the hotel, the call to entertain continued to tug at her heart.
Dancing jobs began occasionally and led to becoming a principal dancer in Tavana’s Tahitian Revue. Dancing allowed her to travel to Japan and many other destinations sharing her gifts. She learned to balance being ‘mom’ and entertainer with the help of her mother Sybil, also an entertainer. Later in life she was blessed with a bonus mom in Phoebe Ku. Many a trip home was punctuated by laughter, good Hawaiian food and “talking story” around mom’s table.
On one of her many trips she met Doug Martin, a principal in the Ice Capades. With a shared love of entertainment they soon found much in common and would marry. Doug’s parents Grandma Anne and Grandpa George joined them in time to welcome James Keoki Martin.
Their home was always open to anyone who needed a meal, a place to stay or just some loving conversation. Doug and Malawaina soon moved to Eugene, Oregon where their youngest daughter Tinamarie Mahealani Martin joined the family. Soon work took them to Sacramento. This is where Malawaina accepted the good news of Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. From this acceptance forward she would use her gifts of voice and dance in praise of her King.
They were drawn to Century Assembly of God in Stockton, CA. It wasn’t just their home, but their base from which God used Malawaina in many ways. She sang in the choir and especially loved the singing Christmas tree presentation each year. She choreographed and taught a dance praise team for services and special outreaches.
There she began her own halau (hula school) Otea Maranatha Polynesian Halau. It was there that Monique and Tina learned to dance and perform. The group competed in Tahiti Fete in San Francisco and made a trip to Hawaii to perform at the Kuilima Hotel.
The Halau’s mission was also a way for Malawaina to share her faith and lead others to JESUS. The Halau curriculum wove scripture into their lessons and surrounded everyone with prayer. In fact, Malawaina was known for praying without ceasing, a true prayer warrior. Every visit, phone call or gathering included a time for prayer. One of her granddaughter’s memories are of the sweet prayers offered during a phone call.
Malawaina always considered herself to be blessed to be a stay at home mom. Besides her love of the Lord, her children and grandchildren were her blessings. She lived each day to its fullest and always looked forward to her next adventure.
Malawaina is survived by her children, Monique Naomi Tiare, Tinamarie Mahealani, and James Keoki; grandchildren Kaitlyn Leilani, Alsyssa Keona, David Kealii and Nicole Kehaulani; and great-granddaughter Isabella Kaiulani; Mother Phoebe Ku Andrews, sister Weedy and Ku siblings Nancy, Kamuela, Jack, Paul, and Patrick.
We will surely miss her but are assured she is with her Savior, singing, dancing, and praising HIM all the day long.

September 12, 1934 - February 8, 2019
On Friday February 8, 2019 our beloved Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma, Pearl Margaret Otto, entered into Heaven. Pearl was born September 12, 1934 in New Jersey, To Raymond and Margaret Westbrook. They later made their way to Folsom, California where she grew up. One night during a basketball game between Folsom and Galt High, she locked eyes with a young man on the opposing side. It was love at first sight and she soon married Helmuth Otto. They moved to Galt and started a family, raising their two kids, Deanna and Mitchell.
Pearl was a hard worker and held many jobs through her life. The earliest being a secretary with McClellan Air Force Base, and then doing some secretarial work from home. Probably her most favorite job was working as the Attendance Clerk for Galt High School. Or maybe that was her kids' favorite job, as they got a cleared absence to skip school whenever they asked. She later got on as an Escrow Officer for Chicago Title and worked with them for 30 years before retiring in 1996. However, Pearls idea of retiring was to continue working another couple of years for Roberts Jewelers, and then another couple more as Walmart's friendliest Greeter. Pearl loved many things in life, and will be remembered most for her love of going to "the Lake" for a little gambling, going out for a "bite to eat", late night scary movies, and Pepsi with "A LOT OF ICE"! She loved being a Grandma, but when she became a Great Grandma, her heart was consumed with the utmost love and affection. Her face would light up when she saw them, and her pink lipstick kisses would be painted on their cheeks.
Pearl is survived by her daughter, Deanna Lee (Marty Miller), son Mitchell Otto (Vonice), grandchildren Amber Litton (Tim), Brady Otto (Katie), Staci Bennett (Brian), Heather Johnston (Samuel), her 14 great grandchildren; Madison, Harlie, Katelin, Cash, Eliza, Brodie, Jax, Caleb, Briggs, Jett, Paige, Colby, Levi and Violet Pearl, as well as her brother, Bob Westbrook (Beverly). She is preceded in death by her parents Raymond and Margaret Westbrook, and her twin brother Raymond Westbrook Jr.
An open house, to celebrate her life, will be held at 2621 Alder Glen Dr. on Saturday March 2nd from 11am to 4pm.
Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Otto family.
