I’m not sure if this bit of trivia has been addressed here, but Loretta’s mother was also employed by the Hawaii Department of Health as a computer programmmer. She died in 1997.

A little trivia: Loretta Fuddy and Cynthia Bunch are officially related to Mr Obama through marriage, if you believe his mother was a Dunham.

I had no idea their mother was Australian...

That was her step mother. Her mother Evelyn Mae Antone Fuddy died in 1973. She was born in Honolulu, with Portuguese ancestry.
