May entered this world May 1, 1933 at Tacoma, Washington, second child of Nobu and Shizu Yamamoto.
In 1967 she moved to San Francisco to work for an investment firm. It was there that she met her “soul mate” John Howland whom she married in 1977. After retiring in 1996 May and John moved to Idaho and built their home in Eagle. After John passed away in 2007 May moved to Meridian to live with her sister Ruth.
May will now reunite with John, her parents, sister Marsha Gragg, and brother Koji Yamamoto. She is survived by brothers Ronald (Jane) Yamamoto of Reno, Duane (Judy) Yamamoto of Kuna, and sister Ruth (Bill) Farner of Meridian.
A special thanks to her loving caregivers at the Cottages of Meridian and St. Alphonsus Hospice.
