Although 16 years younger than William, Evelyn survived her beloved husband by only two years. From A. M. W. Stirling's William De Morgan and His Wife (1922):

"When Death comes with tragic suddenness, the little homely accessories of daily life take on a new and pitiful aspect. Four days before, she had painted from dawn to dusk. The unfinished picture stood upon the easel, the paints were as yet wet upon the palette : all the paraphernalia lay ready for the continuance of the work which would never be continued ; and the very air seemed penetrated with the voice, the presence that were gone for ever. Dying thus with the blight of Age unknown, she had at least been spared one crucial sorrow of existence, when the passion for labour outlasts the faculty of achieving it. But in the case of a very vivid personality, full of vitality, of strongly marked characteristics, it is as impossible to accept its swift extinction as it is to connect that Thing of strange and marble beauty, lying so still in the mystery of dissolution, with the human being we so lately loved — who so lately was full of the glad restlessness of mood and motion. It is the quietude of Death even more than its unconcern which strikes a chill to the mind of the living.

And before that silence which had fallen, it mattered little what name the doctor called the malady that had killed her in those four brief days. Medical science has no panacea for a broken heart. But to those who loved her there seemed a significance in the fact that when, after death, they took from her the sapphire ring which her lover had given her, the stone was found shattered from end to end." ...more
