Her husband died in 1967, but she continued to go by Mrs. Preston Davie in formal situations. She was informally known as May Davie, the name under which her New York Times obituary appeared. Her 1917 affair with Bernard Baruch was of great interest to Alice Roosevelt Longworth who monitored the affair "in the name of patriotism," in the words of historian Blanche Wiesen Cook. Davie died on September 19, 1975.
