Potenitila died in hospital on Wednesday last week, after spending sometimes with her newborn.
After her death, her husband ‘Isoa wrote on Facebook that what he wanted to “make Poteni proud” and said she was “a wonderful, loving and caring person and she has been our super hero for years”.
As Kaniva News reported last week, her family shared to Facebook a photo of Potenitila lying smilingly on a bed while her husband ‘Isoa Moimoi was standing by her bedside carrying their newborn in what appeared to be a room at Vaiola hospital.
The sharing of those photos did not take long before the family returned to social media but this time launching a blood A+ donation for Potenitila.
