Margaret Akita

Margaret Akita passed away on May 6, 2020 at the age of 89. She shared her life with many people who remember her generosity and caring heart.

She received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1953 from the University of Southern California and Huntington Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, where she was awarded Highest Achievement in Clinical Nursing. She was dedicated to her profession and was instrumental in creating a permanent display to commemorate the history of the Hospital's school and its students. Margaret cherished her “Class with class” colleagues, who she stayed in touch with for seven decades.

Above all, Margaret loved her family. She was always there to listen, share encouragement and support her husband of 61 years, their son, three daughters and spouses, and their six grandchildren.
