It is with deep sadness that we share this update. On Saturday, January 25th, 2025, Tui lost her courageous battle with cancer and passed away at the age of 44. We mourn the loss of a woman who embraced life with unwavering strength, radiating light and love until the very end.

Tui leaves behind her loving husband, Pale, and five cherished children: Jonathan, Vincent, Pale, Toka, and Astrid. She was not only a devoted wife and mother but also a beloved daughter, sister, grandmother, and friend. Tui was a devoted sportswoman, both a player and an avid supporter, who touched the lives of many.

The family is deeply grateful for the generous contributions made to the GoFundMe in recent weeks. Your support provided Tui with the best possible chance to fight, and after her passing, it allowed her family to repatriate her body to Melbourne, giving them the opportunity to say their final goodbyes.

In our tight-knit communities, many have expressed a desire to support Pale and the children during this challenging time. If you’re looking to make the most meaningful impact, financial assistance is the best way to help. This fund has been created to support the family and help set these kids up to thrive. Your generosity is truly appreciated.
