Look her up in the deaths index at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk - the deaths of married and divorced women are indexed by their maiden and all married surnames, and you can search using her mother's maiden surname.

80 is not particularly elderly, so unless you believe she is in poor health more likely to be alive. 

Has she lived all her life in Scotland, or elsewhere?  Would she have retired abroad? etc etc.
