It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Mrs Margaret Tighe, our President age 94 who has valiantly led the pro-life movement in Australia for over 60 years.
We send our deepest sympathy to her family, grandchildren, great grandchildren and wide extended family.
Margaret sacrificed her career as a pharmacist as well as precious family time to devote herself to the pro-life movement over so many years.
Remarkably, until her passing Margaret was still contributing to the ongoing success of the organisation.
She has been an inspirational leader in a movement that suffers many injustices by those who oppose the undeniable human right – the inalienable right to life. Margaret was a determined and indefatigable leader against all odds. She recently said:
“It is most important The Right to Life Australia Inc. and our supporters ‘keep on keeping on' with our important work.”
Her innate ability as a powerful strategist made her a fearsome adversary and she undeniably has been the most recognised leader of the pro-life movement in Australia’s history.
The Right to Life Australia Inc. honours Margaret Tighe and her lifelong work. We commit to continuing her legacy.
God bless you. Rest in Peace Margaret.
Alan Tyson - Vice President, Committee of Management and staff of The Right to Life Australia Inc.
