Using the 1911 census and Scotlands People you could establish what surname the childrens births were registered under as it's more than likely that would be the surname she will have used

You can then search SP for her death

SP is a paysite with a free index.  However - you will need to buy credits to view the 1911 census and to view any births/deaths

Just did a quick search on SP for deaths of Elizabeth Duffus born 1875 +/-3 years.
8 entries and one of them is a death in 1959 age 84 in Tarves - other name Gray.
