Born in Hawaii and married to the first Native Hawaiian governor of the state, she was raised in Kalihi. Educated at Andrews University, her first vocation was teaching. She used her position as first lady to raise the standard of children's literacy in Hawaii. She helped found a children's museum and was a role model for volunteer service in the community, instituting the First Lady's Outstanding Volunteers Program. BackgroundShe was one of five children born in Hawaii to Toshio and Matsue Kobashigawa. Both parents were of Okinawan ancestry, and her mother was a first-generation Hawaii immigrant from Okinawa Island. Her father died when she was 5 years old, and her mother raised the children in Kalihi as a single parent. She and John Waihe'e III were both 1964 graduates of the private Seventh-day Adventist Hawaiian Mission Academy. Both graduated from Andrews University in Michigan, where Lynne began her teaching career. The couple married in Michigan, and their children were born there. John involved himself in small-town community activism while in Michigan, with people already predicting his rise in politics.[1] As first ladyThe Waihee family returned to Hawaii in 1971. A proponent of children's literacy, Lynne became a teacher at Hawaiian Mission Academy. Her husband's victory in the 1986 gubernatorial election made him the first Native Hawaiian elected to the governorship from any state of the United States. At the time of his inauguration, the family continued to live in a modest Kalihi condo while Washington Place was undergoing work.[2] For her first luncheon at the White House with Nancy Reagan, she had students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa design her a dress.[3] Eventually she commissioned the students to design an entire wardrobe for her, that was featured as The First Lady Collection at a fashion show at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.[4] Lynne is an advocate of reading aloud to children to inspire their interest in literature. As first lady, she toured Hawaii stating, "I want every child in the state to be read to everyday."[5][5] She was the co-founder, and is president, of Read To Me International.[6] While her husband was governor, she helped found the Hawaii Children’s Museum as honorary chair.[7] In 1987, she was honorary chairman of the development of the Okinawa Cultural Center "Okinawa Bunka Kaikan" when it was first constructed in Waipio, Hawaii.[8] During her 8 years as First Lady of Hawaii, she routinely put in 18-hour days. She was credited for raising the bar of volunteerism, creating the First Lady's Outstanding Volunteers Program. The national Girl Scouts named her "Woman of Distinction" for her service in Hawaii. The Adult Friends for Youth presented her with the Service to Hawaii's Youth Award. She served on numerous charitable and institutional boards in order to champion the welfare of Hawaii's children. During her tenure in the job, she served on the National Institute for Literacy and the National Center for Family Literacy.[9] Later yearsShe has continued promoting the welfare of Hawaii's children, with emphasis on children's literacy.[10] External link[https://dialogue.adventist.org/2904/lynne-waihee-dialogue-with-the-first-lady-of-hawaii Lynne Waihee: Dialogue With the First Lady of Hawaii] College and University Dialogue Retrieved November 3, 2018 References1. ^{{cite news|title=At Home With Lynne Waihee|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/265042871/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=The Honolulu Advertiser{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=February 23, 1987|page=B1}}; {{cite news|title=from B1:At Home With Lynne Waihee|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/265042891/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=The Honolulu Advertiser{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=February 23, 1987|page=B2}} {{Portal bar|Seventh-day Adventist Church|Christianity|Biography|Hawaii|Women's history}}{{Spouses of Hawaii Governors}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Waihee, Lynn}}2. ^{{cite web|title=John David Waihee III -Hawaii History – Governors|url=http://www.hawaiihistory.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=ig.page&PageID=421|publisher=HawaiianHistory.org|accessdate=December 8, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Watanabe|first=June|title=Students Design for First Lady|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/272188833/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=February 19, 1987|page=A13}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Creamer|first1=Beverly|title=The First Lady Collection|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/264917423/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=The Honolulu Advertiser{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|issue=March 26, 1987|page=D1}}; {{cite news|last1=Creamer|first1=Beverly|title=A First Lady Collection for the new First lady|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/264917559/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=The Honolulu Advertiser{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|issue=March 26, 1987|page=D4}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Watanabe|first=June|title=Although She Says She's 'Really Shy' Lynne Waihee Was Game Campaigner|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/272140289/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=November 5, 1986|page=A3}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Home – Read To Me|url=http://www.readtomeintl.org/|website=Read To Me|accessdate=December 8, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=LYNNE WAIHEE – Asia Pacific Children’s Museum Conference|url=http://www.apcmc.org/lynne-waihee/|website=Asia Pacific Children's Museum Conference|accessdate=December 8, 2017}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Big Okinawa center planned|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/272612502/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=June 5, 1987|page=30}}; {{cite web|title=Hawaii United Okinawa Association|url=http://www.huoa.org/nuuzi/about/hoc.html|accessdate=December 8, 2017}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Altonn|first1=Helen|title=Outgoing first lady looks to life out of the spotlight|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/273621454/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=November 30, 1994|page=A1}}; {{cite news|last1=Altonn|first1=Helen|title=She leaves top record as volunteer|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/273621472/?terms=Lynne+Waihee|accessdate=December 8, 2017|work=Honolulu Star-Bulletin{{Subscription required |via=Newspapers.com}}|date=November 30, 1994|page=A4}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Lynne Waihee helps keiki discover the magic of reading|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2009/04/13/focus2.html|publisher=Pacific Business News|accessdate=December 8, 2017}} 9 : First Ladies and Gentlemen of Hawaii|American women of Japanese descent in politics|Hawaii politicians of Japanese descent|Women in Hawaii politics|American people of Okinawan descent|1946 births|Andrews University alumni|Living people|American Seventh-day Adventists |
