Pali had mentioned this in the Pakele thread (Aunty Genoa was the first to be streamed and they did her b-day party live) but there's a nice interview and some other vids of her singing here:
What a tragic loss. What an amazing life, and a priceless legacy of music. Condolences to her huge and talented family, which includes our own InfinityPro.
You know up until recently, she DROVE herself around town to and from events? I heard sometime last week that she was admitted to Queen's and her health was failing.
My condolences to her huge ohana. I had the pleasure of meeting her on several occasions and she was just a sweet, sweet lady.
She'll be terribly missed.
RIP Aunty. May your music and legacy live on forever.

We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only only only
Text messages galore and MySpace bulletins and have been popping up everywhere for hours before I saw anything in the media.

The websites of both daily papers have the story up, finally, though not much information.
Some of you mentioned her large family. Here's what was in the Star-Bulletin's item:
Keawe is survived by three of her 12 children, Gary Keawe-Aiko, Eli Kaeo Paalua and Eric Keawe, 40 grand children, 98 great-grand children and 81 great-great-grand children. The ohana also included her deceased children’s spouses, and two hanai daughters, Suzie Harrison and Roberta Silva.
