Mandi Murray’s heartbroken children paid tribute to their mum after her tragic death just a day after she flew out on holiday.
A Glasgow mum has tragically died after suffering a heart attack on holiday in the Canary Islands. Mandi Murray passed away in Lanzarote on Thursday, May 28, only one day after flying out.
The 46-year-old, who worked as a door steward at The Ferry music venue in Glasgow, was a big supporter of Celtic and Scotland. Her family paid tribute on social media today, with a GoFundMe page also set up to help Derek – Mandi’s husband and dad to their children.
Her son, Steven, shared an emotional post online paying tribute to Mandi. He said: “Today, I woke up thinking about my mum and realised that she wasn’t just my biggest critic – she was also one of my best friends.
“She was a family woman through and through and would have gone to the ends of the earth for the people she loved. She was a friend to many and was known for being incredibly outspoken – which is probably the biggest understatement I’ll ever make.
“Some of my favourite memories are the nights we spent sitting chatting, laughing and putting the world to rights until three in the morning. Then, the minute I said I was heading to my bed, I’d be called a lightweight.
“Tonight, I’ll be raising a vodka to her memory, and anyone who knew and loved her is welcome to join me. Sleep tight, Mum. You’ll be missed every day, but you’ll never be forgotten. Love always, Steven.”
Her daughter McKenzi, shared a touching picture of her mum and friends and family lined up to pay tribute. Ann Kelly said: “Lovely photo, Mckenzi. Fly high with the angels, Mandi.”
Elaine Mcmanus commented: “I am in shock, I dont even have words. I am so sorry. I have wonderful memories of mum and dad. R.I.P Mandi.”
Kayden Stevensonn said: “The most beautiful soul in the world. Kenzi, I love you so much. She was the best ever.”
Nikki Carby added: “What an amazing mum. She always has been, you were very blessed to have her. I hope you are okay. I am here if you need anything.”
Daughter, Courtney, created GoFundMe page to her dad Derek financially. She said: “My mum flew out to Lanzarote a couple of days ago for what was meant to be a holiday and a break for her.
“But, unfortunately she had a heart attack while she was out there and she passed away peacefully on the 28/05/26. We are looking for any donations to help with any financial struggles and support for my dad during this time, any help will be appreciated and thank you for anything given.”
More than £1,780 was raised just a few hours after the page was created.
