Family, friends honor Loretta Fuddy
The state of Hawaii lost a true champion when Loretta Fuddy died.
“Her family is honored that she was entrusted to oversee the health of the people of the state of Hawaii. She loved her job, she loved the people that she worked with. She loved the people she served,” said Kimberlee Rene Fuddy Greer, Fuddy’s niece.
“What we’re about now then is honoring our beloved Loretta. What we’re about now is dedicating ourselves to live up to what she meant to all of us, to all of Hawaii,” Gov. Neil Abercrombie said.
State epidemiologist Dr. Sarah Park worked closely with Fuddy over the years and was obviously moved by her passing.
“Sorry. She’s going to be very missed among us. She was a huge child advocate and a big believer and strong supporter,” Dr. Park said. “She was so selfless and dedicated. She believed in the mission in public health.”
Fuddy’s long service with the health department overlapped a number of administrations. She worked hard with those outside the government for health initiatives. That included long-time friend Gail Breakey.
“We had a public-private partnership on the Healthy Start program to prevent child abuse for over 20 years with Deliana. We called her Deliana. It was a very important thing for her,” Breakey said.
An autopsy will be conducted Thursday on Molokai.
Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly.
According to the governor’s office, an interim health director will be named later.

Orly,
I wonder if Bath House Barry will go to the funeral since he’s gonna be on the island for awhile?
