Yes, I have a copy of this death for "Mary" Torrance, however I was hoping to determine the first name as one or the other, as other records I have looked at appear to be Margaret/Margt/Marg, and are possibilities as connections with my family.  Many thanks for your help.

Assuming you mean what is her given name, Mary.

Not sure about the immediately following word, however.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
