Miyoko was born in Los Angeles on Dec 23, 1932 to Masaru and Mikiye Hiyake. She was the youngest of 3 children - her older sister Eiko (Yoshinaga) and her older brother was Tsuneo. On March 15, 1953, she was married to James Fujimori. They lived in LA before moving to Gardena in 1957.

After raising 4 children she enjoyed working as the Office Manager at Crestwood Elementary and Dolores St. School, retiring after 30+ years. Outside of work she had a number of interests she enjoyed that included: Running, leading her daughter's Girl Scout troop, painting/drawing, gambling in Las Vegas, UCLA/Laker's basketball and traveling. With her husband James they traveled to many exotic places, as well as climbing Mt. Whitney and Mt. Fuji. Always kind, considerate and loving she made it to her 90th birthday, 70th wedding anniversary and the birth of her 1st great grandchild. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother (Bachan), aunt and sister. She lived a full meaningful life, spreading her love to all those around her. We will all miss her very much.
