She also remembers the windows in their home were painted black to ensure their electric lights were not detected from the outside. He was a volunteer in Civil Defense during the night hours, helping to make sure everyone was safe. Neira remembers her dad wearing a helmet with the letters CD on the front. She was too young to remember that infamous event near her Oahu home, but years later her parents told her about the sound of bombs, low-flying planes, and black smoke coming from Pearl Harbor. “Ceci” Neira was seven months old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Hawaii native (the baby mentioned earlier) Cecilia Neira shared her personal story with Managan. To embrace the woes of the world willingly and offer hope to our prisoners of war returning from the Pacific at the end of World War II, Dorothy was there. To witness humanity, its beauty, in good times and in bad, without judgment, Dorothy was there. When a gentle touch, a firm push, or encouraging word was needed, Dorothy was there. When the situation demanded a swift foot and a sharp mind, Dorothy was there. When a silent glance could uplift a patient, family member, or friend, Dorothy was there.Īll those times when the unexplainable needed to be explained, Dorothy was there. In the excitement of the miracle of birth or in the mystery of the loss of life, Dorothy was there. When a calming, quiet presence was all that was needed, Dorothy was there.
Dorothy is not remembered by her many years as a nurse, but by the difference she made during those years by stepping into people’s lives. Dorothy Managan, RN, MSN, and her life as a nurse. The nurses here today honor our sister nurse 2nd Lt. Nursing is a calling, a lifestyle, a way of living. The hundred-year-old lifelong nurse had already made a positive difference in other people’s lives. The ceremony proceeded professionally also relaxed and warm. The ice was now broken, we were all now officially friends. Managan realized she had created a little bit of humor and turned to smile around the room and enjoy the moment. Managan, partially raising her right arm, asked, “Should I salute back?” Poteat, smiling, softly said, “No.” Everyone in the room smiled or chuckled. First, nurse Jean Poteat gave the crisp and assertive commands, “Attention! Present Arms! Order Arms!” The twelve nurses offered a synchronized salute to Managan.

The Honor Guard Nurses had arrived very early to don their pristine white uniforms, gloves, caps, stockings and shoes.
