Her widower, Scott Mitchell, spoke publicly about her Alzheimer's diagnosis, which was made in 2014, and said he campaigns on the condition out of a sense of duty to her memory. He said he gains nothing personally from the campaigning and is not paid for it. He stepped down as an ambassador for Alzheimer's Research UK in 2025 and has run the London Marathon several times to raise money for the cause.
