She remained with her mother at Topaz until the war ended in1945. After the war, Shigeko and Yoshiharu settled in San Francisco and raised their family. Shigeko was a devoted wife and mother. She traveled to various destinations around the country and enjoyed donating to casinos in Reno and Lake Tahoe.

In her later years Shigeko loved getting out of the house and taking car rides to any destination, enjoying the sights and sounds during the day and bright lights in the evening. She remained physically active until just a few months before she passed away. A private service was held in November. Donations in her memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
