Margaret Ellen (Peggy) MURDOCH
MURDOCH, Margaret Ellen (Peggy) - 9th April 2026.
Peacefully at hospital, aged 81 years.
Late of Lisadian House Nursing Home, Hillsborough and formerly of El Shammah Nursing Home Lisburn, Wilson Street Lisburn and Seacash Walk, Antrim.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Ronnie Thompson's Funeral Church, 20 Ballinderry Road, Lisburn, BT28 1UF on Tuesday 21st April 2026 at 2.30pm, followed by a private cremation.
ALL WELCOME
As many will be aware, we recently made an appeal for relatives or those who knew Margaret in any way, to get in contact. This appeal has been shared by tens of thousands of people. We wish to thank everyone who has been in touch with us.
Although we have gathered some additional information, we have sadly been unable to contact any surviving family members. With regret, we feel it is necessary to proceed with the funeral arrangements without any known relatives.
There have been many kind offers of financial support. To maintain transparency, we would like to let everyone know that a government agency is covering the cost of the cremation and Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors will absorb all other costs.
There have been volunteers willing to contribute to the funeral service and provide those services, free of charge, some of which we are now able to avail of. We intend to acknowledge these people later.
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members” and so we would like to take this opportunity to again thank everyone most sincerely who have contacted Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors with advice, support or information.
If you are able to support others like Margaret who may live alone, donations can be made online via www.ronniethompson.co.uk or cheques payable to “AGE N.I” c/o Ronnie Thompson Funeral Directors, 20 Ballinderry Road, Lisburn, BT28 1UF.
And now abide faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1st Corinthians 13 v 13
Assuring you of our personal and most courteous attention at all times.
