In memory of Matilda McMurray

In Loving Memory of Matilda 'Tilly' McMurray

In Loving Memory of Matilda "Tilly" McMurray

Today, we honor and remember our dear Matilda, affectionately known to all of us as Tilly.

Over the last few years, as Tilly navigated her journey with dementia, she often found comfort and joy in looking back. In those quiet moments, her heart would wander back across the sea to Ireland. She would recount her memories of times spent there—recalling the green hills, the warmth of the people, and the stories that shaped her life. While dementia took away many things, it could never erase the love she had for those special places and the memories that brought a smile to her face.

In tribute to Tilly’s life and the grace she showed throughout her journey, we have set up this page to collect donations for dementia support and research.

In lieu of flowers, we warmly invite you to make a donation in Tilly’s memory. Your contribution will help fund vital research, provide care for those living with dementia, and offer support to families navigating the same path we did.

Thank you for holding Tilly in your thoughts, for keeping her story alive, and for your kindness and support during this time.

Thank you for donating to Dementia Australia in memory of Tilly.

All donations received will support the work of Dementia Australia to make a significant difference for people living with dementia, their families and carers through vital support, services, education, training and research.

Thank you for your generosity.
