Sala met her husband, Neil, in New Zealand while she was completing her nursing degree. Sala says when she first met him she just hated him because he had red hair and freckles! Eventually, that changed and together they had 6 girls and 1 boy and their families grew to what Sala says is, “A lot of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”
As their family grew, Neil and Sala opened a business together in American Somoa. Neil’s Ace Home Center provided everything to build a home from the ground up, as well as everything one would need to furnish a home. Cement, lumber, appliances, and more could be found in their business.
