LoHua Odekirk
HOT SPRINGS — LoHua was born in Myton, Utah, on April 28, 1934, the daughter of Lawrence and Esther Odekirk. She was the seventh of eight children, and always walked her own path. She would go on to touch the lives of many, even those who met her only once. LoHua passed away on March 22, 2019.
LoHua was a free spirit, a seeker, a talented gardener, a tireless worker, a healer, and a student of life. She was the mother of nine children: Kathy, Joe, Patti, Steve, Jeff, Jillian, Sarah, Tarom, and Kele. She is survived by two brothers; all of her children; sixteen grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
LoHua was a visionary and a master astrologer and she had the ability to manifest her visions. The Rainbow Zen Tea House and Organic Cafe in Hot Springs will become a memorial, an ongoing tribute to the lasting legacy of a powerful woman with a unique aesthetic and a loving heart.
A Celebration of Life will be held on April 28, her 85th birthday, at Rainbow Zen in Hot Springs, from 2 p.m. until sunset (and beyond).
