Yes I can see the deaths overseas for some of her children but nothing further on the daughter Eliza ..Maybe the death was in England

Maybe the death was in England

Not according to FreeBMD it isn't.

The OP says

Her name is on the gravestone in Dean Cemetery along with that of her husband.

Does anyone have access to the MIs?

Add - can't see anything in the FindaGrave  records for them in Dean

[Forfarian]

It's in the Gravestone Photographic Resource https://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/namedetails.php?deceased=157603

Thanks but, unfortunately, it doesn't give enough information about place of death etc.

"Her name is on the gravestone in Dean Cemetery along with that of her husband."

Can you please give the exact inscription that you see on the headstone.

An image of the headstone would be useful.

"I know 2 of her children emigrated"

When and to where did the children emigrate?

Were there any LIVINGSTONE children still around in Fife when Eliza died?

If I were you, I would get a copy of the gravstone photograph from Gravestone Photographs https://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/gravedetails.php?grave=74423 and an image of the relevant newspaper page including the announcement and the page header with date, and send them both to Scotland's People asking why neither you nor the combined efforts of RootsChat have been able to find the death in their index.

I second this. A few years ago, I had similar problem with an awol index entry for a Northern Ireland death certificate. I provided probate and burial info that both indicated death had taken place, and had occurred at the person's home address. Despite initial assurances from GRONI that it couldn't have as there was nothing in the index and they could not locate the death certificate either, it was eventually found, although no explanation was ever provided as to why it had initially been 'missing'. So, as Forfarian has suggested, in your instance contacting SP is certainly worth trying, as even official records can be missed from indexes.

John Livingstone was admitted to membership of the SSC Society in 1850. I suspect that his business partner was William Wright (SSC 1852). The firm of Wright & Livingstone no longer exists but we still have some 19th century records in our library.

In terms of the  Solicitors in the Supreme Courts of Scotland Act 1871 the Society paid an annuity to widows of members (this was 40+ years before the state pension and all members were male until the 1970s), so there may still be some information available.
