From the program that we put together for her:

Shinobu Hashimoto was born on September 6th 1914 in Los Angeles, California to Shujiro Hashimoto and Shino Hashimoto (née Yoshida).

At the age of five in 1919, she migrated with her parents to Fukui-ken, Japan, where she completed her formal education.

From age 17 (1931) to 27 (1941) – she made San Francisco the place of residence while living with her Aunt and husband – the Yamagata family.  With the uncertainty of the world situation, she returned to Japan in June 1941.

In 1947, she married Saburo Hirano who took on the Hashimoto family name.

With the birth of their son Rikio, the newly formed family migrated back to Los Angeles in 1955.

She worked at various occupations that included hotel housekeeper, seamstress, and paper-product packaging/assembler.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Saburo Hashimoto, son Rikio (Takako) Hashimoto, and granddaughters Sherry (Paul) Main and Starla Hashimoto.
