She retired in 2002 from the Nutrition Care Division at Keller Army Community Hospital where she worked for almost 20 years.
Kazuko was a strong and independent woman who lived most of her life alone. She was a feisty character and not afraid to tell you exactly what she thought. She was a hard worker dedicated to her job. But most important, Kazuko was a loyal friend. She had made many new friends since moving to the New Windsor Country Inn but also had maintained close ties with one dear friend she had met at West Point seventy years ago. She will be greatly missed by all.
