A native of Kolomotu’a Nukualofa, Tonga, Mrs. Taufa was a daughter of the late Charles Round and Meleane Tu’itupou.

One of her favorite hobbies was to cook and bake for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She was truly a people person for she was very at ease in meeting anyone from any diverse background. Families, friends and those that met her, warmed to her heartfelt energy and loyalty. She loved reading her scriptures daily and used to share them with her loved ones.
