Hawaiian Airlines Muse, Miss Hawaii '64 lost her cancer battle- Ohana shares about her life & legacy

Mahalo to Leina'ala's 'ohana for reaching out to me to do a story about her life and legacy. As a Maui mama and forever Miss Hawaii myself - it was an honor. The 3 minute piece that aired on KITV4 also includes the voice of Leina'ala herself. You can watch that at KITV.com or ‪@kitv‬ KZbin.
The video above is the long form interview with Leina'ala's children. They had so many amazing and insightful things to share about her that I couldn't just leave that on the cutting room floor. Speaking: Christina and Kawika Drummond
- Her time growing up on a farm in Kihei on the island of Maui
- Kamehameha Schools graduate and Miss Hawaii 1964
- Her ohana speaks about her time at Hawaiian Airlines
- Maui County council and politics - they say she was the deciding vote against the expansion of the Maui airport (at the time) + ensuring beach access for locals
- Her faith and how it saved her life
- Her last few months on the island of Hawai'i with her daughter
- A moving story about the day before she passed
