Margaret Griffiths obituary

In her final days, my mother-in-law, Margaret Griffiths, who has died aged 78, was asked by a nurse whether she had worked. “Very hard,” she responded, “but I was not paid.”

Margaret was instrumental in setting up the Swindon Interfaith group in 1990, inspired in part by her experiences in Nigeria at the time of the outbreak of the Biafran war, seeing how easily a harmonious society can break up and how religious labels can be used to fuel suspicion.
