We will be livestreaming the Funeral Service for
Ana Heleni Piueti Tupou Fa on Thursday, 27 August 2026.
Ana Heleni Piueti Tupou Fa was born on 14th October 1948 and passed away on 18th August 2026.
She was born at Tupou College, Toloa, in the Kingdom of Tonga
Born to the late Reverend Samiuela Tupou, who hailed from Houma and Kolomotu’a in the Kingdom of Tonga, and the late Akanesi Vasitai Tupou, who was from Houma, Tongatapu, and Lotofoa, Ha’apai.
Ana Heleni was married to the late Tevita Fa, and together they were blessed with five children, three sons, Sione, Finau and Taunivalu, and two daughters, Tavu and Akanesi.
She was also a loving and devoted grandmother to 10 grandchildren, who brought immense joy and pride to her life.
Ana Heleni dedicated 32 years of her life to education, serving as a school teacher at Suva Methodist Primary School in Toorak from 1977 until her retirement in 2008. Through her years of teaching, she played an important role in educating and nurturing generations of children, leaving a lasting impact on the many students whose lives she touched.
Her life was deeply rooted in her Christian faith and her devotion to the church community. For more than 40 years, Ana Heleni faithfully served as the Treasurer of Api Tonga, diligently managing the church’s finances and supporting the congregation through many stages of its development.
Throughout those years, the Api Tonga congregation worshipped at several locations, including Centenary Church, Butt Street, Jubilee Hall, the PTC premises, and the USP lecturer rooms. In 2008, the congregation reached a significant milestone when the church purchased land at 93 Laucala Bay Road, Suva, creating a permanent home for Api Tonga.
In 2015, Ana Heleni continued her service to the church by becoming part of a committee that travelled internationally to raise funds towards the construction of the church building that stands today. Her decades of faithful financial stewardship, commitment, and participation in fundraising played an important role in helping the church grow from a congregation meeting in borrowed venues into an established place of worship.
The Funeral Service will be held at Api Tonga, located at 93 Laucala Bay Road, Suva, a place that holds deep significance in Ana Heleni’s life and ministry. For more than four decades, she faithfully served the church and contributed to its growth and development, helping to strengthen a spiritual home for the Tongan church community in Suva.
Her association with Api Tonga reflects a lifetime of faith, service, leadership, and devotion. Through her faithful service as Treasurer and her contribution to the church’s building project, she helped preserve and strengthen the church for present and future generations.
We give thanks for a life marked by faith, love, dedication, and Christian service. Her legacy will continue through her children, grandchildren, the many students she taught throughout her 32 years in education, and the church community she faithfully served for more than four decades.
The livestream will begin at 7.30am at the CWM Hospital, Suva Mortuary, and will proceed to Api Tonga, Laucala Bay Road, for the Funeral Service, followed by the burial at the Suva Cemetery.
Post-burial refreshments will be served at Api Tonga.
The Funeral Service will be livestreamed by the Livestream Media Team.
