Julia Daquigan Tanicala

“Nana” Julia Daquigan Tanicala, 84, of Lihue, Hawaii, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026, surrounded by her beloved family.
Born on August 2, 1941, in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, Julia was a woman of unwavering faith, strength, and grace. She devoted her life to her family as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker, always caring for her children, grandchildren, and all those around her.
She found great joy in gardening, sewing, and spending time with her family. Orchids were her favorite flower, symbolizing love, beauty, and strength. She will forever remain the orchid of our lives.
