Elizabeth and Robert Mar died at the ages of 72 and 78, respectively.
“It is with deep sadness and a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of our beloved Elizabeth Mar,” the statement read. “After battling the virus for nearly two weeks, Liz succumbed to the serious illness in the early morning hours of March 25, 2020.“It’s a huge devastation for our family,” daughter Angie Okumoto told the newspaper.
Okumoto said she and her husband Yuji Okumoto opened Kona Kitchen with her mom in September 2002. The first location was in Maple Leaf, and a second followed in Lynnwood. While Elizabeth typically went by “Liz,” she was known by patrons at Kona Kitchen as “Auntie” or “Grandma,” Okumoto said. “We’ve kind of created this little family in the Seattle community through the restaurant,” Okumoto said, adding that her mother was “everything” at Kona Kitchen.
