Domelynne Nash, wife of former UH basketball head coach, dies
Domelynne Nash, wife of former University of Hawaii basketball player and coach Bob Nash, has died.
Friends say she died Thursday night in San Diego, where the couple was visiting family.
She had been battling cancer, friends say.
She was 65.
The former Domelynne Lum was a cheerleader at UH when she met Bob, a member of the celebrated “Fabulous Five” teams of the early 1970s.
“She was a fabulous lady, a real help to all of us and the program, and we will miss her,” said former head coach Riley Wallace.

Hawaii’s condolences
Worked briefly with BobIII at Friends of the Library Hawaii. My deepest sympathy to the Nash family.
Your beauty graced the shores of Hawaii and where ever you went, now your beauty will grace the heavens.
Condolences to your family. You will be missed.
Very nicely said.
Agree.
Condolences to the Nash family.
Way too young … RIP
sorry mr nash and family
I think the headlines were tactless saying that she died rather than saying she passed or passed away instead…..condolences to Nash family…..
Agree, sounded like a a nobody, when she was something special to many locals who loved this dedicated family. Aloha to the Nash Family!
Absolutely, and usually the word “died” would be used when someone died in an unexpected tragic accident. A degree in journalism doesn’t always make the writer use the right choice of word. It’s about no common sense. Condolences and much comfort to the Nash Ohana.
well said!
Huh? She died. No euphemism can possibly take away the reality that that sweet girl has died.
SA seriously needs to send its staff back to journalism school, specifically to take Headlines 101. The headlines are frequently poorly written, inaccurate and/or in poor taste.
My deepest ALOHA to her ohana.
Always gracious, a class act!
Well said. Mahalo.
ditto.
Condolences and prayers to the Nash family.
Aloha, Domelynne. You are gone too soon. You were one of the good ones. Aloha a hui hou and condolences to your family.
Sad to learn of her passing. Condolences to the family.
God, please support the family.
