My mother, Margaret Williamson, who has died aged 93, was once described as “a role model for all that was good and kind in a human being”. Throughout her long and active life, she supported others, working and campaigning for social justice, equity and peace.
Peggy, as she was known, was born in Stepney, east London, the daughter of Minnie Lamb and her husband, Lewis Peacock, a Yorkshireman; her parents met when her father was stationed with the army in the capital.
