Ross, so sorry to learn of Maree's passing. I hope you and your family are holding up at this sad time. My sincere condolences.

Dear Maree I am grateful to have known you , first as a work mate ,then as a friend. So many good and funny memories flood through my mind since I heard of your passing. There was the famous good-bye do at Naomi Courts when you decided to ring my dad in Luxembourg in the middle of the night to introduce yourself or dressing up as Leprechauns to participate in the Relay for life. You had such a zest for life and you were a doer, a go-getter with an enormous soft heart under a tough shell. You were a dedicated nurse, a bossy boot and a loyal friend who loved all the good things in life. I loved your wicked sense of humour and your outspoken ways -even when you took the piss out of my funny accent and odd turn of sentences. And you had a real gift for writing (and a passion for souvenir shopping) as I found out once you started travelling. I feel honoured that you came 3 times to see me in my tiny homeland. I am glad that you fullfilled your dreams of travelling and discovering the world beyond New Zealand. Dave has some great memories of the French classes you did together - laughing mostly, he said. The last time we met you were off to the Christkindl Market In Nuremberg and to discover the snowy lands of Scandinavia. Today is yet another farewell and it is filled with sadness but it is also a celebration of your life and the joy of having been a little part of it. You are a special person in my life and will always be. Dave and I send our heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Our door is always open to you.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Maree today. It was lovely to meet you on your trip to Cork over 13years ago. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílís. (REST IN PEACE). BARRA

Lieve Daniel en Baukje en familie. Wat ontzettend verdrietig om te lezen dat Maree er niet meer is. Veels te vroeg, ze kon nog niet gemist worden. Wensen jullie en de familie heel veel sterkte toe met dit verlies. Denken aan jullie! Dikke tuut! Bas en Tamara

Dear Maree , today you will be laid to rest. I will remember your good work ethic and your love for potato chips. I am greatful to know you. Farewell Maree. Rest in Peace

Thinking of you all tonight Ross and family. Remembering the fishing trips as kid and various hi jinks. Was nice to see a decent fish in the photo. That expression has not changed over the years. Always liked catching the biggest one. Her love and memories will always be precious. Will try and catch up soon and will be online . Far too soon but at least in peace now. Take care

To Aaron, Ross and the family. So sorry to hear about Maree passing. Way too early. Maree was awesome lady that always thought of others first. You will have many great memories to cherish and look back on fondly over the coming days. Remember all the good time together. I have so many memories of our trips years ago fishing at manapouri at your family crib. Best wishes to you all tomorrow at the service. Sending you all our love and well wishes. Rest In Peace Maree.

I am so sorry to hear of Maree’s passing. Maree settled into her nursing role &became one of St Clares ‘family’ in St Finbarrs Hospital very quickly. Everyday you worked with Maree was a great day , full of fun, positivity and great stories of her travels and love of her family. Rest in peace Maree.

It is with sadness that I heard of Marees passing. She endeared herself to all that met her in Ireland, with her cheery good natured personality and zest for life. Hope her family and friends can find comfort in the fabulous memories and times you have shared with her. What a life to celebrate.

I'm so sorry to hear this news, Mam speaks of Maree often, and the time she spent in St Finbarr's. Clare and I have great memories of spending time with both of you in Nelson during our foray around NZ. May she rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of the sad passing of Maree .Sincere sympathy to Ross and family .I worked in St Finbarrs with Maree for a short time .Such a lovely warm caring person .May She Rest in Peace

I also knew Maree from Ireland in St. Finbarrs Hoapital. I am very sorry for your loss. She touched so many lives.

Very sorry to hear of your sad loss of such a lovely person inside and out may she rest in peace 💔 🙏

We are so sad to hear the heartbreaking news of the untimely passing of dear Maree. To Maree's beloved husband Ross & cherished family we extend our heartfelt condolences at this very difficult and sad time, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. I had the pleasure of meeting & working with Maree when she came to Ireland and was fortunate to call her my friend with many precious memories. Maree's warm and friendly personality endeared her to those she nursed and the many friends she made during her extended time in Ireland. Thank you Maree for continuing our friendship, our family will miss your visits back to Ireland with Ross. Suaimhneas sìoraì mo chara agus là breithe shona duit(Rest in peace my friend and happy birthday to you). Anita, Paul, Jennifer, Caoimhe & Cormac Ryan - Cork, Ireland.
