She was hospitalised with some serious health issues and the typhoid infection was another complicating factor, Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) Clinical Director Dr Julia Peters says.
Newshub reports she died on Tuesday last week, but the announcement was delayed until after her funeral.
ARPHS has also revealed there are now 15 confirmed cases of typhoid in Auckland. There are also two cases awaiting test results.
The woman was a member of the Mt Roskill Samoan Assembly of God church at the centre of last week's typhoid outbreak, Dr Peters says.
