Although she lived her later years in relative comfort, spending summers in Connecticut and for a time spending winters in an apartment in New York City, she became very lonely towards the end of her life and attempted suicide at least once before her death. She lived alone in her home in Connecticut with a housekeeper and rarely had visitors. According to the housekeeper, Haver especially hated Novembers, as this was the month she and her ex-husband were divorced. They had no children. She became very distraught over the death of her old friend and employer _Mack Sennett_ on November 5, 1960, mainly, according to the housekeeper, because she felt he was the last surviving friend she had from her days as a Hollywood star. Fourteen days after Sennett's death, Haver's housekeeper found her dead in bed, dressed and in full makeup, from an overdose of barbiturates.
