They were both regarded as “ladies of high rank and noble lineages.” Few details exist on her life after this point until her death. In later life, she lived on the premises of Pualeilani, the Waikīkī residence of Kapiʻolani. She continued living at Pualeilani when her nephews Princes David Kawānanakoa and Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole inherited the property. At this point, the Hawaiian monarchy had been overthrown in 1893 and the islands subsequently annexed by the United States in 1898. Despite this, her rank was acknowledged during the birthday reception of the former Queen Liliʻuokalani in 1901. The press initially described her as "old and mentally infirm" but also commented favorably on her noble bearing and knowledge of court etiquette. It was reported that she "swept majestically along amongst the throng as if she were a reigning queen" and "greeted the Queen as one high chieftess [sic] to another."
