Later Life
After retiring from full-time medical practice Margaret Lowenfield moved out of London to a house in Cholesbury, Buckinghamshire which she had purchased back in the 1930s to use as a weekend retreat, following the death of her mother. She was joined by her longtime colleague at the ICP Ville Anderson who became her companion and carer until Margaret's death on 2 February 1973 at St Johns and St Elizabeth’s Hospital, St John's Wood London. She is buried along with her sister, Helena and alongside her cousin Gunther and his wife Claire Löewenfeld, at the Church of St Lawrence Cholesbury.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“My life has been the poem I would have writ,
But I could not both live and utter it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
