Louena Sekona Obituary (1954 - 2020)

Louena Sekona, the late daughter of Mele and Laione Sekona returned home on March 5, 2020. Born in Foui, Tonga, Louena arrived in the U.S. in 1974. She is survived by her daughter, Elina Loumoli and her son Gregory Fifita. Louena is number 7 out of 12 kids, and is survived by her siblings, Alani Laione, Finau Sekona (Late Brother), Emily Fonua, Aulo Sekona, Etuate Sekona, Sunia Sekona, Tupou Mantau, Tu’uhetoka Sekona, Mineva Sekona (Late sister), Lochlein Sekona and Sosefina Manatau. Louena was a mother to all, she welcomed everyone with open arms. Louena was a family woman who loved being around family at all times. Everyone that opened their home to Louena, got a real piece of true love and respect. The same memory pops into everyones head of having Louena up early cleaning and cooking food for everyone in the house. In West valley city, where she resided when she passed, she was known as the woman who was always out watering the grass and tending to her garden of roses in the front yard on 4400 west. She played a huge role in her religious calling at the 1st Tongan Christian Church, where Rev. Heamoni Uesi welcomed her with opened arms. She was a God fearing woman who loved to show her faith in God and was a common church goer with her closest friend Lata Faulua. Louena is going to be remembered as the quiet and humble sister. The aunty who made sure you had everything you needed before thinking of herself. Her small stature but big smile will always be remembered as the first thing you recognize about Louena. She had a laugh that matched her soul, cute and contagious. Louena found positivity and laughter in all matters, and was always open to humility when she would dance and make funny faces. She had a great sense of care in all she did, she loved being around children. Any child she came across, she would hug and embrace them as she tried to make them laugh and come to her by bribing them with candy. Louena will definitely be missed and we’re so very grateful we had the chance to love her. We’re grateful for her Church and their role in her life as well. We know her reunion on the other side with her parents was a sweet reunion. Our newest guardian angel, Louena Sekona, please continue to watch over us. You will truly be missed.
