Sheila Filsell's daughter Susan, 33, has a rare liver condition that risked her life without a transplant.
Susan, a doctor from Glenrothes, is the second patient in Scotland to receive a liver transplant from another living person.
Susan told the newspaper: "I can't emphasise enough how much a transplant can change your life and how difficult it is on the waiting list. Your life is totally on hold.
"If I hadn't had the operation, I could still have been waiting. But the chances of me dying before I got a transplant seemed to be higher than the one-in-200 risk to the donor.
"It wasn't the best scenario, to put somebody else through that. If there were more organ donors, we wouldn't have had to go down that route."
After the transplant from her mother Susan was able to marry partner Grant, 34.
