Faulty Towers Prunella Scales Heartbroken After Death of Husband Timothy West
Faulty Towers Heartbroken Prunella Scales Faces Dementia Battle After Death of Beloved Husband Timothy West
Prunella Scales heartbreak at death of her husband of 61 years: She faces dementia battle without rock Timothy West after his death aged 90
MailOnline 14 NOV 2024
Prunella vows to never leave family home they shared for almost their entire 60-year marriage
The actress, 92, who has vascular dementia, was cared for in part by her other half at their home in Wandsworth.
The couple also had a regular paid carer, personal assistant and gardener. Timothy, whose death was announced by his family today, said last year that his wife wanted to stay in the family home 'until the end'. 'If I go first, the services that we don't use at the moment will probably look after her, but on my own, I don't think I'd want to stay,'
Despite her illness, which was formally diagnosed in 2013 after symptoms first emerged in 2001, Prunella worked with a personal trainer twice a week and still enjoyed tending to he roses in the garden. Timothy, who starred in shows Brass, Edward the Seventh, EastEnders and Great Canal Journeys with his wife, passed away this week.
His children Juliet, Samuel and Joseph West announced the tragic news with a shared statement on social media, saying he died peacefully in his sleep 'with his friends and family at the end'.
Timothy married his wife Prunella in 1963, before she played John Cleeses on-screen wife Sybil Fawlty in the iconic British comedy series.
The actress was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2014.
