Lady Vestey retained her close connection to Superior, where her mother and brother lived until their deaths in 1924 and 1936 respectively. With Lewis Brodstone, she gave the city land and funds for a hospital in memory of their mother; the text of the dedicatory plaque was written by Willa Cather, who had known the Brodstones during her youth in Red Cloud, Nebraska. After Lewis's death, she gave Superior two blocks as a bird sanctuary and children's park in his memory. She sent Christmas gifts to the school children of the city, and contributed a large collection of relics of her early life, of her travels, and of her time in England to the Superior museum.
