In a post on Facebook, her husband Craig paid tribute to his “beautiful wife and angel”.

He wrote: “It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing of my beautiful wife and angel, Lisa.

“Lisa will be missed by her children, Gregor, Emma, and Ewan. Lisa had the most amazing bond with our kids, and a particular four-legged friend completed our wee family.

“Lisa was a quiet and gentle-natured person with a fantastic sense of humour and a sense of fun. Something people did not always see. She could create the most amazing cards for people with stories of laughter throughout her life.

“To my best friend for infinity and a wonderful mum to our children. Until we meet again, my angel, sleep peacefully.”
