Rose Suteko UNO
Published in the Los Angeles Times on September 26, 2010
UNO, Rose Suteko Age 92, died peacefully in her own home in the hills of Echo Park on September 18, 2010. She insisted that she would pass in the home where she raised her family and she did. Her independence and self-reliance will always be an inspiration. Rose was born at the foot of Angel's Flight in downtown Los Angeles and grew up there with her parents Otohiko and Aki Furumura, two brothers Togo and Jack and beloved sister Nell. In 1942 the family was initially interned at Santa Anita and then relocated to the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming. There, she met her husband Harry Kenji Uno, a member of the "A" Battery for the Japanese American 442 Battalion. Harry worked for Toyota Motors, Corp. until a stroke forced him to stay home. Rose continued to work at Gilfillan ITT long beyond a normal retirement age and into her eighties. Every lunch hour she played table tennis with her Gilfillan co-employees and acquired quite the reputation as an avid and skilled table tennis player. Into her late 80's she still had a mean game and regularly beat most family members at "friendly" family games. After retiring from work she became a second grade classroom assistant at the Elysian Heights Elementary School just down the street from her home. Rose loved table tennis, second grade kids, her family, flowers and gardens, video poker and a good steak.
Rose is survived by her daughters and their husbands Janice and David Jeng and Karen Uno and Joseph Marin, her granddaughters Lisa Hopkins and her husband Greg Hopkins and Cindy Seehusen, her grandson Zachary Marin and her great-grandchildren, Douglas Hopkins, Harry Seehusen, Madison Seehusen and Thomas Seehusen. Rose is also survived by her brother Jack and beloved sister Nellie Yamamoto and her children, Arthur and Linda Yamamoto. In an effort to carry out Rose's wishes, the immediate family will be privately gathering to say their good-byes. www.fukuimortuary.com (213) 626-0441
