Dr Maire Heley was born in St Albans on 22 July 1930 and attended a local convent school and grammar in London before winning a place at the Royal Free Hospital to study medicine. She won a national prize for surgery but always wanted to be a family doctor and after working at a hospital in Windsor she came to Ipswich as a GP. She had been a member British Medical Association for 66 years and a long-time parishioner at St Pancras, Ipswich.
She was instrumental in forging links with Nettuno in Italy which venerates a statue taken there by English sailors after it was rescued from the destruction of the English shrine. Maire supported, and was a representative at, many ecumenical functions in Ipswich. In her seventies she studied for the Maryvale Diploma in Evangelisation and Ministry and obtained a distinction. She also attended the East Anglia Diocesan adult learning courses that Bishop Michael Evans began.
