NONUMALO, Mele:
Passed peacefully into the arms of our Lord on Friday 6th January 2023 at Hutt Hospital, having been surrounded by the love of her children, grandchildren and the many friends who visited or called, over a number of days in hospital. Beloved daughter of the late Tafeamali'i and Malutafa, and dearest sister of many in Samoa, New Zealand and further abroad. Also much loved by many nieces, nephews, and extended family. Devoted wife of the late Nonumalo Eneliko Nonumalo. Cherished mum to Nonumalo Iulia, Vito & Gina, David, Mele & Iuliano, and Nana to Javagn, Xycacia, Aliana, Fa'aniniva, Penina, Thomas, Keana, Anaia and Layla. A family service to celebrate the life of Mele will take place Tuesday 10th January at 6.30pm, and a Requiem Mass will be on Wednesday 11th January at 11.00am. Both of these will be at Mum's beloved church, St Bernadette's Catholic Church, Naenae Road, after which she will be laid to rest with Dad, at Taita Cemetary.
