Sisigafua Faimaala Poutoa, 75, passed away on October 15, 2026. Born on June 1, 1951, she was a beloved, cherished, and devoted presence in the lives of all who had the privilege to know her. A resident of San Diego, California, she will be remembered with deep respect and enduring gratitude for a life marked by steadfast faith, quiet courage, and generous love.
Sisigafua’s life was anchored in family and defined by loyalty and selfless care. She was married to Afa Poutoa Sr. for 48 years, a partnership shaped by devotion, resilience, and the honest strength that carries a family through every season. Together they raised four children—three sons and one daughter: Afa, Eugene, Siaipata, and Renata—each a reflection of the hard work and kind-hearted guidance she gave without hesitation. She also took great joy in her grandchildren: Faith, Julian, Aris, Alexis Faimaala, Alofa, Ana, Vanessa, Heilala, AJ, Afa, Alani, Adan, Faatoto, Athena, Emilia, Eloise, and Xochitl who were deeply cherished.
In 1985, Sisigafua immigrated from New Zealand to Hawaii, and in 1986 continued on to California. Through each transition, she met change with bravery and steady resolve, building a life rooted in love, faithfulness, and perseverance.
Sisigafua’s generous spirit was especially evident in her service to her local church and women’s group. She loved serving others, and her devotion extended beyond attendance—she would speak and give sermons, offering words shaped by conviction, sincerity, and care for her community.
She also found simple joys that brought warmth to everyday life—she loved Bingo and loved Sprite, small pleasures that those close to her will remember with tenderness.
Sisigafua Faimaala Poutoa will be deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of her family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by her faithful presence, resilient spirit, and enduring kindness.
