The family will celebrate her extraordinary contributions — in public as an activist and researcher, and in private as a devoted sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The family respectfully asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be considered to help complete Herzig Yoshinaga’s mission of making available her extensive archival papers to the public. To make donations, go to: https://www.gofundme.com/aikoherzigyoshinaga
