Tributes to 'feisty woman with a wicked sense of humour' who died after Ollerton crash

'Your sister, three children, their partners and six grandchildren will miss you terribly'

The family of a grandmother who died after a crash say they will 'miss hear dearly'.

Margaret McKenna, 69, was in a collision with a car when crossing Forest Road, Ollerton, at around 6.25pm on January 16.

The 69-year-old, who was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre, died on Thursday (January 30).

In a statement, her family said they would "miss her dearly".

They said: "Margaret grew up in the United Kingdom and emigrated to South Africa in 1973 with her husband, Dennis, and her daughter, Louise.

"They had two more children in South Africa: Natalie and Andrew.

"Margaret lived in South Africa for 33 years before returning to the United Kingdom but her heart was always in South Africa.

"Margaret was a strong, feisty woman with a wicked sense of humour which will be missed dearly.

"She loved her home and used her artistic talent to continuously redecorate.

"Her garden was her pride and joy and was a product of her naturally green fingers.

"Her children’s fondest memory of her was waiting for her to come home from work, where she would kick off her heels, put a record on, and they would have a mandatory dance off for half an hour before she cooked dinner.

"Margaret, your sister, three children, their partners and six grandchildren will miss you terribly.
