During her lifetime she had remained completely unknown to the many charities she supported and nobody in the RNLI, including the crew of the Moelfre lifeboat Robert and Violet, which she provided, knew her name.

All correspondence was with her accountant who passed on news of the lifeboat's activities and forwarded a video of the naming ceremony and trials. He also said that the gift of the lifeboat gave his client great pleasure and that she always found the rescue reports of interest.

In her will the lady left a further sum to the RNLI and instructed that her name could be made public.
