Her grandfather, who died before she was born, was the botanist, John Jeffrey.[2] With Baxter she was a strong supporter of the Women's Rural Institute in Scotland. In the Second World War she helped to organise the Women's Land Army in Fife.[3] In 1951 she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Her proposers were James Ritchie, Alexander Peacock, John Berry and Sir Maurice Yonge. Together with Baxter she served as Joint President of the Scottish Ornithologists Club.[4] She died at Balsusney in Upper Largo on 22 May 1953 and is buried with her parents within the abandoned church at Newburn, Fife, a popular spot for romantically sited burials. She never married and had no children.
