That was her step mother. Her mother Evelyn Mae Antone Fuddy died in 1973. She was born in Honolulu, with Portuguese ancestry.
Was her mother a resident at Kalaupapa? I’ve looked at so many pages I can’t keep anything straight right now, but I saw at least one where it was said that Fuddy’s mother was a resident in Kalaupapa. I thought it must have been mistaken when the information about her mother being a computer programmer for the HDOH came up, but if that was her father’s second wife they could both still be true.
