Heartbroken Scots family pay tribute to much-loved gran who died just weeks after cancer diagnosis

A heartbroken family have paid tribute to a Glasgow gran who died weeks after her cancer diagnosis. Susan Malcomson, 73, passed away on November 12 last year, after the disease spread throughout her body.

She had only been diagnosed a month prior. Mum-of-three Susan's daughter Amanda, 53, said the family are still trying to come to terms with her tragic passing.

Amanda admitted she was still struggling to comprehend her mum's cancer diagnosis, let alone her sudden decline and death. She told Glasgow Live: "I still can't believe that she passed away. I never really dealt with cancer before, so it came as a big shock to us."

Matriarch Susan leaves behind three children, 12 grandchildren and nine great-grandkids, all of whom miss her greatly. The granny always looked to put a smile on her family's faces and even tried to take part in a few social media trends.

Amanda said: "My mum was lovely and she took pride in all her grandkids, they were always at her house. She was very funny and looked to make us laugh.

"She was always doing TikTok dances with the grandkids and she loved her holidays away. My mum would do anything to help any of us."

The 53-year-old is now looking to raise £1000 for the Beatson after they provided exquisite care for her mother. Amanda will hand the money to the charity just after Susan's birthday next month.

The adoring daughter said: "I work in Sainsbury's at Crow Road so me and the colleagues have been round with buckets. We've done a few different things to raise money.

"The Beatson couldn't have been any nicer to my mum when she was in. For £25 a patient they can get a massgae, their nails and hair done. My mum really loved it. Her birthday is in June so I'm handing the donations over on June 10 in her memory."
