Mrs Myskow on her 90th birthday.

Former Fife teacher Mrs Elizabeth Myskow has died in New Zealand at the age of 93.

Mrs Myskow was the last surviving of four daughters of Fife farmer William Swan, Dunino, and latterly St Fort Farm, by Wormit.

Mrs Myskow gained a BSc degree at St Andrews, studying at Queens College, Dundee.

She met her late husband Michael, a Polish officer, during the war when she was his English tutor.

They were married at Forgan church after the end of hostilities and went to live in South Africa where Mr Myskow worked in forestry and she taught science at schools in Pietermaritzburg.

They had two children Janina and Michael.

Mr Myskow died in the late 1950s and three years later Mrs Myskow returned to Scotland with her children to be with her father in his latter years.

She continued her career in education, teaching biology at Bell Baxter High School, Cupar.

After retirement, she went to stay near her son Michael in Lymm, Cheshire.

Michael, a pathologist, then secured a position in Nelson, South Island, New Zealand and after several return trips in her eighties, Mrs Myskow relocated there to stay with her son, daughter-in-law Bernie and their twin daughters Anna and Amy.

As Mrs Myskow became more frail she moved into a care home, where she died on Monday.

She is survived by her son Michael and her daughter Janina, a journalist, radio and TV broadcaster and a former editor of Jackie magazine, who lives in London.
