Career
Fusipala was one of the Tuʻi Pelehake's six children, four of whom were girls. This was in 1968. Her main period of learning about the denomination was while visiting Sepiuta and Larripotoa Fehoko in Santa Ana, California. The Fehokos took Fusipala to church with them at the Santa Ana 6th (Tongan-speaking) branch.
Her instruction in the gospel was done by branch president Heilala T. Finau.
