Teruyo "Terry" Hoshizaki Takiguchi

Teruyo “Terry” Hoshizaki Takiguchi died peacefully on June 5, 2025. She was born on October 23, 1924, in Vacaville, CA, to the late Kakuzo and Naka Hoshizaki. At 100 years old, she was the final survivor of 8 siblings and she often spoke of looking forward to their reunion in heaven. 

During WWII her family was relocated from Vacaville to the Gila River Internment Center in AZ where Terry graduated from high school.

After raising their 3 daughters in the Chicago area, they moved to Durham, NC, to spend their golden years.

Terry loved Jesus and her deepest desire was that all her family would come to know Him as their Lord and Savior. Terry is survived by 3 daughters, Cindy (Jim), Karen (Roger) and Becky; 6 grandchildren, Alison, Andrea (Jake), Robert (Heatherlee), Nicole (Jamie), Saige (Michael), and Kara (Bryan); 11 great grandchildren, Eva, Aidan, Lily, Ella, Lea, Loretta, James, River, Carter, Victoria, and Miles.
