 When village or secondary schools were in need of some improvements, Mrs. Hext not infrequently made herself responsible for them, and she often provided prizes as an inducement to scholars in some particularly commendable direction.In the Constantine-Mawnan area she was interested in and almost invariably a helper in, anything for the betterment of village life.She gave to Constantine its present recreation ground and pavilion, and in both villages she supported sporting and social organisations, almost without exception.” 

She died on 14 September 1939, and was buried in the churchyard of Saint Constantine's church.
