Her father was ordained in the United Free Church, and at the time of her birth, was the Chaplain to the Presbyterian members of the University of Oxford.

Janet Theodora Lusk (27 April 1924 – 20 June 1994) was a Scottish social worker who was a pioneer of social care in Scotland, Director of the Guild of Service (1962 – 1984) and the first female Convener of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (1984 – 1990).
