She was a true fighter. ‘Akesiu was born to Tonga Toutai Paletu’a and Lu’isa Hehea Kona’i Paletu’a in the group Island of Mo’unga’one Ha’apai, Tonga on November 19, 1951. After graduating from Liahona High School she served a full-time mission in Tongatapu Island for 2 years. During her mission she had the opportunity to receive her Endowment in the Auckland, New-Zealand Temple. In 1970, ‘Akesiu continued her education at the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, UT, where she met the love of her life, our handsome father Tevita Mapakaitolo Vainuku. He sealed his true love to him for all time and eternity on February 20,1973 in the Salt Lake City Temple at the age of 22. Our mother’s most memorable job was being a stay at home parent. Our father insisted he would work outside of the home to take care of all of us. By doing this Mom took on her favorite and prized role of all. She taught, raised and prepared us daughters to be strong mothers, supportive wives. Our brothers are strong, hard working men who take care of their wives and children. Our parents never wanted us to feel lonely when we were at home, and knowing our mother was always there for us growing up, was priceless. This we have done for our own individual families as well because of the sacrifices our parents made. They have 12 children. 6 daughters and 6 sons. Starting from the eldest to youngest with their loving and awesome supportive spouses: Seini Emaile Fakahau (Tevita Fakahau) Tonga Toutai Vainuku Jr (Elisapesi Puamau) Soana Feohimoe’ofa Latu (Siosaia Latu) Tevita Mapa Vainuku Jr (Nunia Leakehe) Lu’isa Hehea Vaka (Samisoni Vaka) Ilavalu Mapa Vainuku (Leila Fakaosiula) *Nukuluve Paletu’a Vainuku *Passed away 06/03/1995* Kaunanga Metuloni Salome Helu (Isileli Helu) Siosaia Fakailoatonga Matekuolava Vainuku (Andrea Silva ) Losali Taina Maluofi Ki Tonga Angilau (Lemana Angilau) Vikia Sione ‘Inoke Kolipoki Vainuku (Kiana Muamoholeva) Salome Losehine Tangiteina Tupou (sione Matangi Tupou) with 64 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. ‘Akesiu is survived by her sweetheart Tevita Mapakaitolo Vainuku, 11 children, 64 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, 1 sister Tangiteina Paletu’a Kinikini of West Jordan City, Utah. Preceded in death by her son Nukuluve Paletu’a Vainuku, both her parents and mother and father in law. Our beautiful mother was known for her service in her many callings with the church she loved, especially her love and kindness towards everyone she met and came into contact with. She is a faithful daughter of our Father in Heaven and she truly followed our Savior Jesus Christ. We will never forget her Christlike love, Salome ‘Akesiu mei Hakau Paletu’a Vainuku did come for the Sinners and not for the Saints. God be with you til we meet again, our sweet, loving and unforgettable Mother. Due to the pandemic we are currently in, a Private funeral service will be held just for the children Tuesday, November 24, 2020. We love and appreciate each of you for your outpouring of love and support given to all of us during this time. You may be able to watch her services on Zoom where a link will be provided on Tuesday, November 24, 2020. Mom’s final resting place will be at the Tooele City Cemetery, Tooele, Utah. With great respects, Tevita Mapakaitolo Vainuku and children.
