I have the sad duty of relaying the news that Margaret Cook passed away yesterday evening.
There are two conversations on Facebook with more information.

The Ruth organ she proudly presented at rallies for many years changed ownership to Nigel Myers earlier this year and Nigel commented on Facebook:
Quote:
Yes extremely sad news but it was a blessing. I reiterate Peter's deepest sympathy to Eric and her family. The Ruth played constantly from 10am to 4.30pm at Driffield Rally yesterday, and Margaret passed away apparently just as I towed the organ off the rally field yesterday evening. I played the closing hymns for her upon arrival at home. Yes, rest in peace Margaret and you will be hugely missed. I consider myself so fortunate to have something so special to remember you by.
File comment: Margaret at the keyframe of her Bruder Organ, FOPS AGM March 2011 at the Black Country Museum.
