In all she has left more than $100 million.

…to be shared by 16 schools, nonprofit agencies and charities…Besides the Nature Conservancy, other beneficiaries of Wodehouse are the American Cancer Society, Bishop Museum, Hawaii Community Foundation, Salvation Army, Punahou School, Seabury Hall, Iolani School, Daughters of Hawaii, Hospice of Kona, Christ Episcopal Church (Kealakekua), Hawaii Lions Foundation, Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association, American Red Cross Hawaii State Chapter and the Institute for Human Services.
