Mildred Childe Lee died from a stroke while visiting New Orleans on March 27, 1905. She was fifty-nine and had spent much of her adult life supporting members of her family, especially in Lexington, Virginia, after the Civil War. In later years she divided her time among relatives, undertook church work, and traveled abroad. The stroke ended that later life away from her usual Virginia family setting. The National Park Service confirms the cause and place but does not supply a detailed account of the onset, treatment, or interval between the stroke and death. Her earlier bout of typhoid fever in 1868 was an illness she survived and should not be presented as the cause of her death decades later. Her coffin was carried by train to Lexington, accompanied by veterans and college alumni, and met by local delegations. She was interred in the family crypt with her parents and sister Agnes. The ceremonial return reflects the Lee family's public standing. Her private final moments, attendants, and last words are not securely established in the consulted material.
