HONOLULU—Nora K. Coleman, 85, the widow of the late American Samoa Gov. Peter Tali Coleman, was hospitalized at Queen’s Medical Center last Sunday following a massive cerebral hemorrhage suffered at her home in Honolulu’s Niu Valley.

A native of Hawaii, the former Nora Kawailiula Stewart married her husband in Honolulu in 1941 and, following World War II, accompanied him to Washington, D.C., where he attended Georgetown University, and later to government postings in American Samoa and Micronesia.

The mother of 13 children, she resettled in Honolulu following the death of her husband in 1997.

The prognosis for her recovery is not good, according to family members.
