As previously reported, the death occurred peacefully at Park House Court Nursing Home, Tenby, on Wednesday, June 28, of Mrs. Marguerite Catherine Maud Murdoch, affectionately known as ‘Peggy’, aged 92 years, of Stepaside.

A native of Milford Haven, Peggy started her working life with Charles Dairies when she was 15-years-old delivering milk on a horse and cart around Hubberston and Hakin. During the war years and beyond, Peggy worked as a telegraphist in Milford Haven Post Office on Hamilton Terrace for 11 years. From 1955-87, Peggy was landlady of the Commercial Inn, later known as The Stage Coach Inn at Stepaside.

In her younger days, Peggy’s main interest was taking her boat out on Milford Haven and around the islands, and once took Sir Peter Scott out to Grassholm Island to see the nesting gannets. It was one of the most remarkable sights he had ever seen.

Peggy also loved gardening and nature. It was in the garden she felt closest to nature, spending many happy hours there. Photography was also a great love of hers, taking many a photo of the beauty spots around Pembrokeshire.

Predeceased by her dearly loved husband, Alastair James John Murdoch (John), only the week before, family left to mourn are Alistair (son), Joy (daughter), Janet (daughter-in-law), Elizabeth, Catherine and Rosemary (nieces), Michael and Moyra (nephew and niece) from Scotland.

The funeral took place at Parc Gwyn Crematorium, Narberth, on July 14.

Officiating was the Rev. Steve Bessant, while bearers were Terry Jones, Wayne Williams, Michael Imlach and Brian Fellowes.

If desired, donations in memory may be made to the Paul Sartori Foundation and Tenby and Saundersfoot District Nurses, c/o E. C. Thomas and Son, Funeral Directors, Zoar Chapel Funeral Home, Llanteg, Narberth, who carried out the funeral arrangements.
