Patrick Stewart’s Widow Sunny Ozell Breaks Silence After His Death at 86: ‘We Left Nothing Unsaid’
Sunny Ozell said the couple shared nearly two decades together and that she was moved by the public response to his death.
On Wednesday, musician Sunny Ozell paid tribute to her late husband, Sir Patrick Stewart, expressing "deep, profound gratitude" for their relationship two weeks after the actor died in Los Angeles at age 86.
Sir Patrick died on October 28 at his Los Angeles home following a "brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia," according to his family.
Ozell, 47, said she was "sincerely moved" by the public response to her husband's death, noting they shared "nearly two decades together" filled with "so much living."
Close friend Sir Ian McKellen praised Stewart for being "defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire," noting his "stern honesty" and willingness to "risk getting lost in Hollywood for years."
Before his death, Stewart spoke of "significant grief" over estrangement from adult children Daniel Stewart and Sophie Stewart from his marriage to first wife Sheila Falconer; he later married Wendy Neuss before finding love with Ozell.
