She was a highly valued member of our federation, and her contributions over the years have left a lasting impact. Margaret's dedication, warmth, and friendship touched many of us, and her presence will be sorely missed. Her involvement in the Queen's Women Graduates Association and her commitment to our shared goals at the IrFUW at a national and international level when she represented us to UWE were truly inspiring.

Condolences on the loss of Margaret. I am very sad to hear the news. She was a wonderful person and a good friend. We met through the Women Graduates Association meetings, I am a member of the UCD WGA in Dublin and Margaret used to stay with me when she attended meetings in Dublin. We also attended European meetings together, Margaret was such good company. She was kind enough to have me to stay with her in Whitehead. I will miss her very much. May she rest in peace.
