R.I.P. Miree New 15.6.1959 - 16.2.2011

Miree New arrived with her family in Indonesia in early 2000. It didn’t take Miree long to fall in love with Indonesia. In her first few years in Jakarta she worked for a travel company and took clients on excursions in Kalimantan to see the orangutan habitats. In 2003 she joined Santa Fe where she spent the remaining years of her life, assisting newcomers to Jakarta to settle in. On the 16th February 2011, whilst Miree was in hospital diagnosed with Typhoid, she suddenly developed an onset of complications and which quickly claimed her life. During her life and her time in Indonesia, Miree’s devotion to her family and friends, her willingness to help her friends in need, give advice and support when needed, touched the lives of so many. She loved Indonesia and its people and it fitting that this is where she left us. Her presence will be missed dearly. We will update this site once arrangements are known for her farewell wake. Do feel free to leave your messages to Miree and condolences for her family here. Email to mireefamily@gmail.com to submit a letter.

St Patrick's Society mourns the loss of Miree New

The passing of a lovely lady.
It was with great sadness that we in the St Patrick's Society of Jakarta learned today 16th February 2011, of the sudden death of our wonderfully energetic committee member and dear friend, Ms Miree New.  On behalf of St Patrick's we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to her three children Shannon, Cameron and Stephanie as well as to her parents and to the other members of her family. 
Miree had a great many friends and hundreds of acquaintances in Jakarta. She was universally regarded with respect and affection as she had a great heart and got involved enthusiastically in many charitable societies. She had a larger than life personality and was great fun. Even during the past few months when she had not been well, Miree efficiently and tirelessly helped to organise many functions for us in St Patrick's and for other societies ultimately benefiting Jakarta's less fortunate people. 
While Miree was a proud New Zealander, she often spoke of her Irish ancestors, the Keeleys of Waterford. We were blessed that she had that special affection.    
As we say in Ireland:  
Imithe ar aghaidh uainn - we will not see her likes again.

Mary Jane O'Brien,
President St Patrick's Society Jakarta.
