IN MEMORY OF ELLEN SONG Hui O Hula perform in memory of late LW resident

Big kudos the good neighbors and hula dancer Lori Chamberlin of Mutual 11 for helping with the celebration of Ellen Song’s life.

A longtime LW resident, Ellen had many who loved and cherished her. They celebrated her 92nd birthday in January with a feast and a hula program. Ellen passed away a few months later. Last week, daughter Elena Song remembered her mom with a touching speech and a big spread.

A bench was put in a favorite spot in Ellen’s honor. Friends and neighbors gathered to dance and enjoy a big spread. The Hui O hula dancers danced “Aloha ‘Oe/Farewell to Thee”—may she rest in peace.

Hui O Hula offers Hawaiian dance lessons twice a week. All—including men—are welcome. Hula is a gentle dance. It is good for the mind as dancers need to remember how to tell the story with their hands while dancing.
