Aloha, my name is Eugene Onio Punzal, and I am a Cultural Weaving Practitioner at the Kauai Museum on Kauai, Hawaii. Noe Mahi has been my helper for 2.5 years, and has brought much aloha to hundreds of our students with her aloha spirit, loving instructions, and booming laughter, who come to experience our Hawaiian Cultural Weaving with Coconut leaves, Lauhala, and Ti Leaves.

Aunty Noe passed suddenly at age 57, leaving Glenn, the father of their 9 children, the youngest at age 15. A Gofundme drive has been set up for her family to help with funeral arrangements.
