Margaret Horne

Maggie, who died aged 52 in December, moved to Oxford as a young woman with her son Jason, first to Woodstock Road, and then to Jericho where she lived in Combe Road. Maggie was a real character, someone you certainly couldn't miss; she was immensely proud of her appearance and had a huge wardrobe. She devoted a lot of her energy to looking after others, always fiercely supportive of Jason, and was devoted to her grandson Reece. But she did not look after herself so well. She suffered from diabetes which led to her premature death. She was a regular in the Bookbinders, where there is now a memorial plaque by her old barstool.
