married Howard Marshall. His illness in 1967 led her to look for a new way of earning money. She set up a second-hand clothes shop, called "Bargain", and sold off her wealthy friends' clothes that they no longer required. Howard Marshall died in 1973. In 1981, a stroke left Bligh with speech difficulty. She died ten years later, aged 78.
