Her infectious humor and undeniable spirit touched everyone she met, making her a beacon of light in the lives of many. As Albert Einstein once said, "The only source of knowledge is experience," and Kahea was an embodiment of this wisdom, living her life to the fullest and sharing her experiences with those around her. Kahea was a woman of many talents. She had a passion for drawing, painting, and tattooing, transforming blank canvases into beautiful pieces of art. She was also an avid music lover and a die-hard supporter of her favorite football team, the Eagles. Shopping was another of her favorite pastimes, but her most treasured moments were the ones she spent with her family, cherishing the joy and love that they brought into her life. Despite never having formal employment, Kahea's greatest achievement was being a dedicated and loving mother to her two wonderful children, Jasmyne and Deondre, and a doting grandmother to Taylor, Tru, Winter, and Nyla. She found immense joy in watching them grow and thrive, cherishing every moment spent with them. Kahea was also deeply devoted to her father, Rodney Kahana, and her beloved dog, Cookie. Her love for her 'Ohana and her unwavering loyalty to those she cared about were a testament to her character and the beautiful soul she was. Kahea lived in various places, including Florida, but her heart always remained in Honolulu, the city of her birth. She was recognized by those who knew her as having a beautiful and inspiring mind, one that was unique and captivating. Kahea was preceded in death by her mother, Debbie Balagan, but her spirit continues to live on in the hearts of those she left behind.
