Flandrau was the sister-in-law and close friend of architect Theodate Pope Riddle, who provided her with a life tenancy in a house on the Hill-Stead estate in Farmington, Connecticut. Flandrau died there on December 27, 1971. By the time her will was probated in 1973, her estate was valued at $10,000,000. In her will, she left a major bequest to establish, in honor of her brother-in-law, another noted author, the Charles Macomb Flandrau Fund at Harvard University, aimed to encourage good writing. Her gift to the University of Arizona led to the construction of the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium in Tucson, Arizona, opening in 1975.
