Hollie said: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we have to share the heartbreaking news that our beautiful mum, June Fetter, has sadly passed away unexpectedly in Benidorm, following a short but incredibly difficult fight.
“This has all happened so suddenly, and we are still struggling to come to terms with the fact that the woman who was always so full of life, happiness and laughter is no longer with us.
“Mum was the most loving and devoted mum we could ever have asked for. She was caring, fun, bubbly and would genuinely do anything for anyone.
“She had a way of bringing happiness wherever she went, and anyone who knew her will know just how much life she had in her.
“Mum was also a singer, and music was such a huge part of who she was.
“Her voice, her laughter and her infectious personality will stay with us forever.
“We were able to make it across to Benidorm to be by mum’s side in her final moments.
“We are so grateful that we were able to be there, hold her close and tell her how much we love her.
“We are now faced with the heartbreaking task of making arrangements to bring mum home to Scotland.
“As she passed away abroad, there are significant and completely unexpected costs involved.
“We are currently being asked to provide money for mum to be transferred to the mortuary before we can continue with the arrangements to bring her home and give her the farewell she deserves.
“None of us could ever have imagined having to face something like this, and we simply weren’t prepared for the financial burden that comes with losing someone so unexpectedly abroad.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has reached out, shared memories of mum and supported us through the most difficult time of our lives.
“We will miss you more than words could ever say, mum.
“Keep singing up there.
“Your voice will always be with us.”
Her son Darren added: “You were so loved by us all and many more.
“You were one in a billion.
“I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
“Keep singing up there sweetheart.
“I am absolutely heartbroken beyond measure.”
