“It was no life for him. He was not able to express himself latterly,” she said. “At least he died in his sleep and it was just so peaceful. I was with him all the time and he just slipped away. It was what he wanted.”

She added, “He had dementia and it took its toll on him. He got his final wish to slip away without any fuss.”

Connery, 91, met her future husband at a golf tournament in 1970; they wed in 1975.
