Dearly loved wife of the late Derek Coles. Much loved daughter of William and Elsie Park (both deceased), and cherished eldest sister of Desmond, Ethne, and Ron, (all deceased). Treasured aunty of the late Russell, Cherie, and Bronny. Deeply loved and adored sister, sister-in-law, Aunty, Great-Aunty, and Great-Great-Aunty to the extended Park family. Deeply loved and adored sister-in-law, Aunty, Great-Aunty, and Great-Great-Aunty to the Coles family.
A faithful servant of the LORD; a generous giver with the kindest heart.

Forever cherished in our hearts and memories — until we meet again.

Miriam was always such a special lady. Whistling as she walked and always so interested and caring. I will miss her cheerful face and chats in the reception. Sending sympathy to the family.
To all of Miriam’s… We send loving sympathy. She was such a dear lady… was always interested and caring to us and our family. We haven’t seen her for awhile but often had a catchup in New World. She will be enjoying being with all her loved ones gone before to their Heavenly home ❤️🙏
