Services are scheduled for March 6 and 7 for legendary Hawaiian singer Aunty Genoa Leilani Keawe, who died Monday at the age of 89.

Visitation will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Borthwick Mortuary on Maunakea Street in Chinatown. Services are scheduled for 6 p.m. at Borthwick.

Because of limited parking and an expected overflow crowd, Borthwick is encouraging mourners to carpool, walk or be dropped off at the service.

On March 7, visitation continues from 9 a.m. to noon at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, La'ie Hawaii North Stake at 55-110 Lanihuli St. in La'ie, near the grounds of the La'ie Hawaii Temple.

Keawe had been performing Thursday nights with her four-piece band at the Moana Terrace Bar and Grill in the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort for the past 14 years despite developing cancer, heart, stomach and kidney problems.

She entered The Queen's Medical Center on Feb. 1 and was released to her home in Papakolea on Feb. 21. She died in her sleep early Monday morning.

Keawe, who was born Oct. 31, 1918, learned to love music while singing with the Mormon choir in La'ie. In the decades that followed, she became a fixture on Hawai'i radio and television and in Waikiki night clubs.

Among other presentations and proclamations, Keawe was honored by the City and County of Honolulu, the state House of Representatives and the state Senate, and the state Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

The Honpa Hongwanji Mission of Hawaii proclaimed Keawe a "Living Treasure of Hawaii." She also was honored in 2000 by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Keawe outlived nine of her 12 children. She is survived by three sons: Gary P. Keawe-Aiko, Eli Kaeo Paalua and Eric K. Keawe; 40 grandchildren; 98 great-grandchildren; and 81 great-great-grandchildren. She also was supported by several of her deceased children's spouses: Howard Lono, Iwalani (Ho), Frederick Amina, Snooks (Watson), Barbara (Buchanan), Patrick Ah Yuen and two hanai daughters, Suzie Harrison and Roberta Silva.
