Page "Maria Feodorovna (Dagmar of Denmark)" Paragraph 25

In November 1925, Maria's favourite sister, Queen Alexandra, died.

For Maria that was the last loss that she could bear.

" She was ready to meet her Creator ," wrote her son-in-law, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, about Maria's last years.

On 13 October 1928 at Hvidøre near Copenhagen, in a house she had once shared with her sister Queen Alexandra, Maria died at the age of 80, having outlived four of her six children.

Following services in Copenhagen's Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Church, the Empress was interred at Roskilde Cathedral.
