Rest in Heavenly Peace.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved Theodosia Panuve Nia Nia aka Mama Sia 🤍
Mama Sia you were a true pioneer, visionary, and treasured pillar of our Pasifika community in Gisborne. As a founding member of PICT Gisborne, your leadership, service, and deep love for our community helped shape the foundation we stand on today. Your legacy is woven through the lives you’ve touched and the paths you’ve paved for generations to come.
You lived a life grounded in faith, compassion, humility, grace and service, always giving, always caring, always turning up, always leading with love. Thank you for being such a remarkable woman and role model for us all.
A sincere and heartfelt thank you to the Niania kaiga for sharing your beloved mum and matriarch with our community. We know that service often comes with sacrifice, and we are deeply grateful for the time, love, and commitment she gave to laying strong foundations for PICT Gisborne. We are truly blessed by her legacy.
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to the Niania kaiga and all your loved ones. May the love you shared and the memories you hold bring comfort, and may you be surrounded by warmth and support during this time.
Rest in eternal love and peace, dear Mama Sia 🤍
