The family does not know why the M. is on her headstone,
I think the "M" is because she was previously married to McGregor. I have found a lot of women use the initial to their previous marriage on their headstone.
However, that is just my thoughts as to why the 'M' is on the stone. Info provided by JoeAnn (nee: McKenzie) Comber (#46868388) added by Lloyd Williams. Thank you JoeAnn.
