In Memory of

Margaret Polkinghorne

Wife, mum, nanna, great-nanna, sister, auntie, friend - Margaret was the epitome of what it means to love your family.

Margaret's story

Born in Chesterfield and a lifelong local resident, Margaret studied at Chesterfield Art & Design College, worked at Harry Fish Furriers, then was a NHS seamstress at Penmore Hospital, and later worked for NHS Home Equipment Service. Her interests included gardening, baking, crosswords, reading and being with her family. Margaret leaves her husband Wilfred, daughter Judith, son-in-law Del, sister Cynthia, grandchildren Adam, Anthony and Jessica, great-grandchildren Eli, Amber, Peggy, Edie, Eric and Rowan. She was predeceased by daughter Janet, son Gareth and grandson Luke. Margaret put others first, even in her final days worrying about everyone else before herself, much like those who work for this brilliant charity. She leads a void that will never be filled and is truly missed.

What is a gift in your will?

Legacies, also known as gifts in Wills, have a profound impact on our charity, funding 1 in 7 of our lifesaving missions. Legacies are another way in which you can honour a loved one’s memory and that gift allows their memory to live on long into the future, allowing us to save lives of future generations in their name. If you have included such a special gift in your Will, you can now show that on your loved one’s page with a pledge, or you can request to learn more about legacies with our free Gifts in Wills Guide.
