Mia 'Maria' Lamar

April 19, 1959 - September 25, 2018

Mia 'Maria' Lamar passes away two weeks ago , 25 September 2018, at 59 years old .She was surrounded by her loving family. Mia leaves behind her two children , Pualani Kelley and Dominique Lamar , a grand-daughter , Daiz'hane Miquela and two grandsons, Nate'zhan Marquis and SirRon Malaqai. She is also survived by her father , her sister, one niece ,two nephews , one grand-niece and six grand-nephews. Mia was a multi-faceted individual who was eager to learn about so many different things that is was difficult to pin her down to one single job. While she was living in Hawaii, she modelled for Milici/Valenti, worked for Kodak studios, and pursued photography. While in Oregon, Mia apprenticed under a watchmaker and also worked as a make-up artist, along with serving in hospice care. Mia never settled down, even her 50's, when she began pursuing her degree at Barstow Community College. Most of those who have met Mia remark on her beauty as one of the first things they notice, then her kindness, and then her infectious laugh. More than just a pretty face , Mia had an eye for beauty as well and could be found sketching a favorite beach in Hawaii, or sculpting in her ceramics class. As we , her family , mourn her passing these are the things that we will miss the most . Her family will be holding a private ceremony to mourn the loss of remarkable individual whose life was taken too soon.
