According to a post on Chapman’s Facebook page, Martinez “unexpectedly passed away from complications of pneumonia.” Chapman said that she was removed from life support on Monday night.

“Jolene was a very strong Christian, and I am absolutely positively sure she’s in heaven right now,” Chapman said. “But in Hawaii we don’t say ‘goodbye,’ we say ‘Aloha Oe … until we meet, again,’ and I know I will see my sister, again, which gives all of us some comfort at this very sad time.”

Martinez is survived by her two children and three siblings.
