Elizabeth “Betty” passed away surrounded by love at Forth Valley Royal Hospital on Saturday, 7th March 2026, aged 72 years.

Beloved wife of the late William, much-loved mum of Tracy, William and Andrew, devoted gran to Greig, Beth, Marc, Katie and AJ, much-loved mother-in-law to Craig, Nadine and Sam, devoted sister, sister-in-law and aunty, long-time companion to Jamie, future grandmother-in-law to Erin, and a wonderful friend to many.

Betty was truly an amazing woman whose love for her family was fierce, constant and never in doubt. She made sure the people she loved knew exactly how much they meant to her, telling them every single day.

Always a constant source of love and support, she was there whenever she was needed. Strong, kind and deeply caring, Betty was a woman admired and respected by everyone who knew her, and a source of strength that helped hold her family together.

Nothing in this world meant more to Betty than her children and her grandchildren. They were her entire life and at the centre of everything she did. Her grandchildren brought her immense pride and joy, and she loved nothing more than watching them grow, supporting them, guiding them and reminding them just how loved they were.

While her loss is deeply felt, there is comfort in knowing that Betty is now reunited with her beloved William, together once more, just as they were always meant to be.

She leaves a space in the hearts of her family that can never be filled, but the love she gave, the memories she created and the impact she made will remain with them always.
