Margaret Gilligan Tribute from St Anne’s Guild

 

How sad to learn of the death of our highly regarded Honorary President of St Anne’s Guild, Margaret Gilligan. 

 

She was an exceptional, inspirational President for the Guild during most of the 1980’s and on into the mid-90’s as secretary, retiring in 2001; she became our Honorary President in 2014.  A Lady in the true sense of the word, she was the epitome of grace, friendliness, and kindness, and a natural communicator.  She lived her faith with a deep loving conviction, and was an example to all and beyond in ecumenical gatherings in Troon.

 

On seeing potential new members, she had a delightful but determined approach with a polite, ‘Hello, Dear’ introduction the recipients found themselves charmed and recruited!

 

As you enter Heaven, Margaret with a ‘Welcome’, from our patron, St Anne, pray for us, as we will for you, and may you Rest In Peace. Amen.

ST ANNE'S GUILD

St Anne’s Guild continues to thrive after seventy-seven years since being established on 17th February 1947, when 36 women met to form a Women’s Social Guild.  Today membership remains buoyant at around 45 women and new members are always welcome.  We start and end with prayers to our Patron, St. Anne, and then enjoy the syllabus topic of the day. During the year, members generously support donations to local charities.     Come & join us on the first and third Tuesday of the month (September - April).  Make New Friends …. Have Fun …. All Women are Welcome!”
