You post contains a lot of info - but can you tell us what you want?

If you are looking for details of her children - Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy so their details cannot be posted here

This is your third thread about the same person.
Nowhere do you actually say what information you are looking for.

What proof do you have that she died in 2015 given that your friend does not seem to have had any contact?

Her husband(s) may still be alive as will be her children in which case no info can be posted as stated above.

Does your friend live in Scotland or South Africa?   If she is her half sister - do they share the same mother or the same father?

If your friend lives in SA - she can search records there.  Obtaining a copy of the 2015 death cert would be a starting point

Was her death shown on somebody's family tree?  Another tree has very vague info about her but shows her death as 1986

If your friend is her half sister & lives in Scotland - which parent do they share - same mother or same father?

mary david macgregor  born aberfeldy 1943  died 2015 south africa   she had 2 husbands   frederick de nysschen     and   gregan  ...

Gregan? Could this have been something else as there is the following possibility:

Mary David KIRCHER b 18 Jan 1943, d 31 Jul 2015 (see: https://archive.opengazettes.org.za/archive/ZA/2018/government-gazette-ZA-vol-640-no-41983-legal-notices-A-dated-2018-10-19.pdf)
Was probably married to: Edward KIRCHER b 23 Oct 1933, d 9 Dec 1996

Could this be him as well?:

The dodgy tree I mentioned earlier has her birthdate a year out.  18.1.1942 instead of 1943

yes she travelled back to scotland several times but the last time i saw her was in 1955  when she went back to africa      she has at least 3 living children   surname gregan   but her death says kircher so she may have been married  more  than once     it looks like her father james david macgregor  died in 1976   her mother  julia macgregor  ms/tulloch   died after him julia was born 1915 in orkney
