Vi Masuda, 92, formerly of Livingston, CA, passed away peacefully in Morgan Hill, CA after being visited the prior weekend by her three children, seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Vi was born in Elk Grove, CA to Edward and Tsuru Yoshida where she spent her early childhood and completed her schooling. She married Mamoru “Spud” Masuda in 1942 at Fort Sill, OK just prior to his being shipped out with the 442nd Battalion to Europe. Spud and Vi moved back to the family farm in Livingston once the war was over where they lived and farmed 40 acres until moving to Morgan Hill in 2007.

Vi was very active in the Livingston Grace Methodist Church activities and sang in the church choir. She spent much time supporting the activities of her three children in music lessons, competitive swimming, church activities and scouting activities.

She was preceded in death by her husband Spud in 2009 and two brothers Edward and William. She is survived by her two sisters Alice Kurosawa of Long Beach, NY and Maisie Fujino of Gardena, CA. She is also survived by her three children Bill, Chris and Mari all living in California, seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Visitation will be Monday, February 27 9:00am to 11:00am. A Graveside service will follow at 1:00pm at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemetery, where Vi will be interred with her husband Spud.
