Adelaida Barboza Freitas (Ida) was born April 8, 1912, in Sprecklesville, Maui. Growing up on a sugar plantation, with 11 siblings was not easy, but it taught Ida many important lessons that have helped carry her through 104 years of life. Devotion to God and the church was always “number one,” followed by honesty, dependability, hard work, self-discipline, hospitality and, of course, a great sense of humor.
