Vaeauote Muliaumaseali'i Wesley

Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Vaeauote Muliaumaseali’i Wesley, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 31st, 2025. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, who were with her, offering love and comfort as she peacefully transitioned from this life. Her passing, though a deep loss to all who knew her, was marked by the same warmth, love, and grace that defined her life. Vaeauote was born on April 12th, 1958, in the village of Fasito’outa on the beautiful island of Samoa. She was the eighth of ten children born to Luanu’u Tupuse and Seuao Fealo’ai Muliaumaseali’i. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, Vaeauote learned early the importance of love, respect, and service to others. Her childhood was filled with the vibrant culture and traditions of Samoa, and she carried these values with her throughout her life. Her Samoan heritage remained a guiding force in her life, and she took great pride in sharing its rich culture with her children and grandchildren. In 1982, Vaeauote married Iulio Lualemaga, and together they had three children: Laki (Margret), Bruce (Daisy), and Chester (Lima). After their divorce, Vaeauote embraced the role of a single mother with incredible strength and resilience, raising her boys with love and determination. In 1999, she met Tiasamoa Samuel Wesley, and after a brief courtship, they were married on September 11, 1999. With this marriage, Vaeauote lovingly gained five more children: Conrad (MaryKay), Donald, Kijiana (Travis), Nephi (Berta), and Pearl (James). Being a mother to eight children was one of the greatest joys of Mama Ote’s life. Her love was boundless, and she nurtured each of her children with a grace that was uniquely her own. Through her children, she was blessed with 34 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Her family was her everything, and she found immeasurable joy in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whether sharing a quiet moment, telling stories, or offering a word of advice, Mama Ote was happiest when surrounded by her loved ones. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, especially those of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry forward her values of love, service, and family. Mama Ote was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she served in various callings throughout her life. One of the most significant chapters in her spiritual journey was serving as a full-time missionary in Samoa. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she took every opportunity to share the gospel with anyone who was willing to listen. Whether in the church or out in the community, Mama Ote lived her faith through her actions—showing kindness, offering service, and always welcoming others with open arms. Mama Ote was known for her unwavering love and selflessness. Despite facing her own challenges, she always put the needs of others before her own. Whether it was lending a helping hand to a neighbor, offering a listening ear to a friend, or providing comfort and care to family, her heart was as big as her smile. She believed deeply in the power of service, and her life was a testament to the strength that comes from giving. She taught us all that true joy comes from lifting others, no matter the personal sacrifice. She is preceded in death by her late husband Tiasamoa Samuel Wesley, her parents Luanu’u and Seuao Fealo’ai Muliaumaseali’i, her brother Vaaimamao Luanu’u Muliaumaseali’i and sisters Nofoituaigaale Falefitu, Alalafaga Matamu and Fetulele Asiata. Mama Ote will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 12th 2025 at the Mapusaga Ward Chapel 3970 South 5200 West, West Valley. Family Service and viewing: 8am - 10am. Funeral Service: 10:30-11:30am. Burial will be at Eastlawn Memorial Hills Cemetery in Provo, 4800 Timpview Dr. Provo.
