Thanks for posting that. I had never heard of her before. She was quite a character, judging from the information in the article.

Did she have any children? If so, I may have met some of them in Afghanistan.

It's clear you are not an amateur idiot. It's always great to meet a professional, like you.

The most remarkable part of her story is that she was able to live in a British hospital for the last decade.

Read it, posted it to my FB page. What an INSPIRATION, and I’ve never heard of her. God BLESS her!

Said she died of a simple infection. I guess if you’re that tough, there’s not a lot else that can kill you.

But, at the age of 98, Wake was finally beatenI couldn't disagree more. Hers was a life well lived.
Look, we all will die, but not all of us will truly live.

Death, where is your victory? Grave, where is your sting?

Bear, I read it the same way you did. But I had a look at Celtic Cross' webpage and decided it was unlikely it was meant the way both of us read it.
Celtic Cross, in case you don't know (and I hope you don't), "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" or its variants is actually a common phrase used to indicate that you're not sorry to see somebody leave - it's a way of telling them to get lost, really. I do hope that isn't what you intended, but it is how I read it to begin with, and I think how Bear did as well.
This explains that useage - it may be more common some places than others.

Health care especially paid for by the Australian government in a private hospital.
People in Britain do have the right not to use the NHS, and to have health insurance, and to pay for private health care if they want to. Those horror stories you hear of from Britain are of people who didn’t make that choice. And to be fair, a lot of the time the NHS does work properly. It’s just ‘a lot of the time’ isn’t good enough when it comes to your health.

Video documentary about Nancy Wake’s wartime experience is on youtube, narrated by her. Parts 1-6, about 50 min. total.
I enjoyed it.
