She died at Chateau Garibondy, near Cannes. She was the fourth, and eldest surviving daughter of General Lord Alfred Paget and his wife, Cecilia Wyndham. She was the grand-daughter of the first Marquess of Anglesey, of Waterloo fame. She was brought up at the Upper Lodge in Busbey Park and at Lord Alfred's house in Queen Anne Street, and after the death of her father became the devoted companion of her mother; who lived more and more at the Chateau Garibondy. Lady Alfred died in 1914, and she became the sole chatelaine. She stayed there throughout the 1914-18 war, turning her house into the most delightful of convalescent homes for officers, whom she received there until long after the Armistice, and some of whom gladly returned there as guests and friends. She also helped the French of Cannes and the neighbourhood in their war-work, and was later admitted to the Legion of Honour. She worked on the committee of the British Hospital at Cannes, where she was once a patient for a serious operation. She died unmarried.
