Mien (short for Wilhelmina) Warokka studied in Gorontalo and in Yogyakarta. She studied Law but could not finish it due to lack of funds from home. Later she became a teacher, teaching in Indonesia as well as in the Netherlands.

When in Holland she studied for beautician and also opened a beauty parlour in Nigeria (when her husband worked there). She loved to read books and absorb knowledge from anywhere. She also was a fervent tennis player (became Indonesia champion in the '40s) and loved to play Bridge.

She traveled everywhere her husband Eddy was called to: Indonesia, Netherlands, W-Africa.

She was a great mother for her children who all keep her remembrance high. She died from an abusive attack by a junkie in Amsterdam in 1993. She finally passed away in Cinere, Jakarta, where her husband took her for the last 3 years of her life. StatCounter - Free Web Tracker and Counter
