She suffered a stroke on Christmas 1949.
Met her future husband, Henry Piper, while trying to find the door to the practice hall for the choral society in which they were both members. They had both arrrived late and had trouble finding the way in. She used to say that she met her husband "around by the dustbins".

The growth of the School has made it imperative to increase the accommodation. With the exception of the rooms occupied by the caretaker, the whole of the premises at 8 Lon¬don Road are now devoted to school purposes. There is room now for another 25 pupils, as well as a room which can be used by the upper boys as a private study and reference library. Another room has been reserved for music. Mr. Piper is now residing at 343 Loose Road. In consequence of these changes the " Interview Hour " has been changed to Thursday after¬noons at London Road, and Thursday evenings at Loose Road during term time.
The premises at Loose Road are very commodious and include a large plot of land. In the past there have been several enquiries whether girls can be admitted to this School. We have pleasure in announcing that arrangements have been completed for the opening of a new school at Loose Road early in the New Year for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 10. The new School will be run on up-to-date lines and will be known as " Mount Pleasant School," under the entire charge of Mrs. F. A. Piper, M.R.S.T., who has had varied and very successful experience under the L.C.C., being assistant Headmistress of one of the largest London Central Schools. The new School will work in co-operation with the McCabe Commercial School and the Girls' High School, and should form a valuable adjunct to Maidstone Independent Schools. A good nucleus of pupils has already been enrolled and we wish the new venture every success. - [S583] Household accounts of H I Piper1922 - 1930, F0162.
