She was married to Arthur Lawrence Derby from 1915 until his death in 1961, and in December 1964 remarried to Ross Cuthbert (1892-1970), a former Olympic ice hockey player and retired lieutenant colonel of the British Army. Derby had children, including a son, Arthur (1916-1944), who was killed in action in World War II. Derby died in Bermuda in August 1965, aged 70. Oscar de la Renta then took control of her company, having worked there before her death. (en) |
