==Marriage== In 1963, three years after the death of Michniewicz, Saunders became familiar with the paintings of [[Marian Bohusz-Szyszko]], a Polish émigré and professor with a degree in fine art. They met and became friends, and she became a patron of his art. A substantial amount of his work is hung at St Christopher's Hospice. Bohusz-Szyszko had a long-estranged wife in [[Poland]], whom he supported, and was a devout [[Roman Catholic]]. In 1980, five years after the death of his wife, he married Saunders. She was 61 and he was 79. Bohusz-Szyszko died in 1995, at the age of 94, spending his last days at St Christopher's Hospice.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal|url=http://www.bmj.com/content/suppl/2005/07/18/331.7509.DC1|title=Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, dies|website=British Medical Journal (obituary)|date=25 December 2016|access-date=18 June 2021}}</ref>
