survived by her 2 daughters, Colleen Williams (John), Shauna Lukaitis (Mike) granddaughters, Erin Peters and Reid Lukaitis, 3 step sons , Mike Fortin (Lana), George Fortin (Cathy) and Harvey Fortin and her brother in Scotland, David Fotheringham (Helen); along with many other relatives and close friends in Scotland and Canada.
