Hundreds of people gathered at the Ratu Cakobau Church on Bau Island on Saturday to mourn and bid farewell to the late Adi Litia Kaunilotuma Cakobau.

Many who knew and came across the late Adi Litia Kaunilotuma remembers her as a quiet character, which speak volumes of her upbringing and the respectable household that she was brought up into.

Adi Litia Kaunilotuma had suffered a short illness before she died on Boxing Day, last year.

She was the eldest daughter of the late Turaga Bale na Vunivalu na Tui Kaba, Ratu Sir George Kadavulevu Cakobau and Adi Lelea Cakobau.

Born on November 6, 1957, the late Adi Litia Kaunilotuma studied nursing at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, the teaching hospital for the University of Sydney.

The Fijian Princess worked with the Ministry of Health, before she became ill.

She was from a notable household in Fiji, placed in the Fijian notability structure, always working from behind the scene and was rarely seen or noticed.

The late Turaga Bale na Vunivalu na Tui Kaba Ratu Sir George Kadavulevu
Cakobau and his eldest daughter the late Adi Litia Kaunilotuma Cakobau.
