After Arthur Thomas Bushby's death on 18 May 1875, she resided in Victoria, California and England. At the time of her death on 10 January 1928, she lived in England with her daughter, Ella Gertrude 'Dot' Hopwood. She was buried in the Bushby family Plot 36 in the Old Church of England Cemetery in New Westminster, B.C. (now part of Fraser Cemetery). See the Record of Internment in the photos.
