Margaret was born in Salford, Manchester, and her early life was shaped by the turbulent times of World War II. Her formative experiences included a brief yet glamorous career as a model for fur coats and high-quality clothing, which instilled in her a lifelong passion for fashion and glamour. Margaret soon met her future husband, Derek, the father of her daughter, Lois.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, they ran a successful bakery, opened two fish and chip shops, started an au pair business, and established a vehicle dealership in the UK. Their hard work eventually allowed them to retire to sunny Spain.

They enjoyed time on their beloved boat, the Sea Rat, hosting dinner parties, embarking on cruising adventures, and travelling to glamorous destinations—activities Margaret deeply cherished. In retirement, Margaret remained active by launching a boutique for high-end women’s clothing and organising fashion shows, often featuring Lois. Her love for animals led her to donate all proceeds to Benidorm Dogs Home, solidifying her status as a beloved community figure.
Margaret passed away peacefully, surroun.
