The widow of William Walton, Susana Walton, died on 21 March in her home on the Mediterranean island of Ischia. She was 83 years old.

The couple met at a conference in 1948 in Buenos Aires and married 8 weeks later. After the war the Waltons moved to Ischia, in the Bay of Naples. Susana made it her project to build up the extensive garden around their house (called La Mortella).
