Isa cuz! The life and soul of any gathering, big or small - a pocket rocket of glitz and glamour, fun and laughs and a mean ukelele player. Rest in eternal peace, love and music with the angels in paradise dearest Ada. Na loloma kei na masu. Bernadette and Jordana Rounds Ganilau. Fiji. 💔🌺💔

Our Dearest Ada, truly a woman of greatness, with the biggest heart and love and care for others more than herself. We have had just the best times in her company where she gave her all to make everyone around her happy. She was a true warrior and nothing seemed to faze her. Her sayings still rebound in our minds like ''as good as gold'' and ''tabu soro'' which we'll never forget. Farewell dearest Ada, rest in peace and thank you for the goodness that you imparted upon everyone you came into contact with. God bless you.

A real lady, who loved life and all that came with FASHION and STYLE!! I will never forget the hospitality showed to me and my sisters when we stayed with you some years back when we came to attend our niece's funeral in Kaitaia. You were such a bundle of joy who lived life to the full and will be missed by family and many, many friends. You will always have a place in my heart. RIP. Bev McMillan

To my beautiful aunty, I will definitely miss that smile, but knowing I have all my memories to remind me of what a wonderful person you were. Too many funny stories. One that comes to mind is when me, you and Ronnie Eyre were escorted out of Panthers because we were too loud celebrating your pokie wins. Lots of wine consumed and lots of laughter had. I will cherise all the time we did spend together and glad I got to facetime with you recently. May the lord lead you to his light and may you rest in peace. Love and kisses Kim, Chris and family.

To Michael, Mark, Johnny , Reggie and the Adam Whanau Will always remember your mum/ my auntie Deeply saddened with the news of Auntie Ada’s passing away I have fond memories of Auntie growing up She is probably having a glass of wine with Jacks RIP Auntie Baz and Carolyn!!

Baz

I could not have had a better mother in law. She was all style, all class, kind and so generous. She was an amazing cook and I learnt so so much from her (including how to fold undies)😁 If there was a great party going on, it was at Ada’s. She raised four amazing men Isa Ada. I can’t imagine the world we live in without you. See you again one day with the Lord Almighty.
