Sharon Linda Keopuhiwa, born on Feb. 2, 1947, was called home to her Savior on March 25, 2026, after facing recent health challenges with characteristic grace. A woman of immense heart and quiet strength, Sharon was the cornerstone of her family and a loyal friend to many.
She was reunited in heaven with her parents, Julian and Carmen Rodrigues; brother, Howard Rodrigues; and former husband, Rodney Keopuhiwa.
Sharon's legacy of love lives on through her four children: Sherilee Keopuhiwa, Rodlynn (Joe) Smallwood, Margaret Keopuhiwa and John (Nai) Keopuhiwa. She was a devoted grandmother to MarSean, Mariah, LeiLani, Jordan (JJ), Alyssa, KaiLi, Adriana, Ayden and Max, and a doting great-grandmother to Makani and Uzziah. To her family, Sharon was a steady rock—always present, fiercely caring and a source of unconditional support.
Her deep faith was the compass of her life, shining through her commitment to her church family at Greater Friendship Baptist Church. While her absence leaves a void, her family finds peace knowing she is rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 11 a.m., at Greater Friendship Baptist Church, Anchorage, with Repass to follow at Kincaid Chalet at 1 p.m.
