Maureen Murphy

Businesswoman;

Born: March 15, 1966; Died: June 13, 2012.

Maureen Murphy, who has died of cancer aged 46, was a woman who tackled life head on, whatever it threw at her.

The proverbial life and soul of the party, she was a self-made, Govan-born businesswoman who overcame a spell in a Nazareth House orphanage to go on to co-found a string of travel enterprises, including the no-frills carrier Air Scotland.
