Debra Hulimai Sherman's Obituary
Debra “Debbie” Sherman passed away February 11, 2023.
While her death was sudden, Debbie passed peacefully, surrounded by family. She is survived by her son, Alan Bradshaw; grandson, Alex Bradshaw; sister, Kathryn Sherman; niece, Napua Aloy (Jamie); nephew, Russel Kapahulehua (Sybil) and families on Maui; grand nephew, Prince Kapahulehua and family from Henderson, Nevada; grand uncles, Charles Osgood and James Sherman; grand aunt, Noe Noe Tipasa in American Samoa; step-daughter, Tina Budge (Jeffery); grandson, Nathan Budge (Sjobor); and granddaughter, Karlie Budge.
