What country did she live in? It would help. I suspect NZ or Australia.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

The pin on her tie looks like it might be a Masonic one. Perhaps worth contacting The Womens Order of Freemasonry which started in the UK just after the turn of the last century.

I may need my eyes checked (along with my Dad who thought of it in the first place!) but could it potentially be something to do with music?

We reckon the bottom part of the pin on the tie looks shaped almost like a horn as it's more curved than what you'd see on the Freemasons symbol, which tends to be more of a V shape.

Although, now I'm second guessing myself.  :P

Hi, my first instinct was that it was a military badge worn as a keepsake.
