Tamako was born in Japan in 1914. While she was teaching in Japan she met Takayuki Kubota, a long time Southern Alberta farmer who was visiting his brother. Tamako and T.

Every year they planted and maintained a huge garden which gave them great satisfaction. Tamako excelled in Art and spent many years teaching calligraphy to dedicated students.
The family wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to all the doctors, nurses and staff at St. Therese Villa and the Chinook Regional Hospital for their dedicated love and exceptional care to our mother.
