Hideko T., a resident of Albuquerque since 1982, passed away on Saturday, April 5, 2008, after a brief battle with lung cancer. She was born to Tomokuni and Saizuru Tsukasa on December 22, 1935. She was preceded in death by her parents and her grandson, Jesse DeBuck. She is survived by her children, Linda and husband, Rob DeBuck, of Albuquerque, Sandie and husband, Mike Chapman, of Lynden, Washington, David and wife, Inez Cage, of El Paso, Texas, and Donald and wife, Becki Cage, of Newton, Kansas.

Hideko also leaves behind two very dear friends, Rose Wopat, her friend of over 40 years, and Donna Self, her friend of over 20 years. Hideko retired from TJ Maxx in December, 2006, after 20 years of employment. She had the privilege of working for a manager that she respected and held dear to her heart, Mr. Martin Threet. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Larry Cawthon of Harmony Home Health and Hospice for his outstanding service. With his compassionate care, it allowed Hideko to pass on with the dignity and grace that she deserved and in the comfort of her own home. Cremation has taken place and a private Family Celebration of Hideko's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, friends may make donations to the American Cancer Society or charity of their choice. Mom, we love you forever.
