Known as 'May'. Married Hugh Penfold around 1900. After her mother Laura's death, May, who was living at the Cape, took in the youngest Willmore child, Douglas, and brought him up as one of her own. May contracted whooping cough from her grandson Aidan. This created a hole as large as an egg in her lung. The infection eventually spread to her other lung. After a long period of hospitalisation she was released and went to Kuruman for a last visit; she died aged 66 in Win's home while Brother and Edwin were on leave from the war (WW2).
