She is buried in the Dún Chaoin Burial Ground on the Dingle Peninsula. She is moved to a hospital in Dingle, County Kerry where she dies on December 8, 1958. Sayers continues to live on the island until 1942, when she leaves the Island and returns to her native Dunquin. Over several years beginning in 1938 she dictates 350 ancient legends, ghost stories, folk stories, and religious stories to Seosamh Ó Dálaigh of the Irish Folklore Commission. He then sends the manuscript pages to Máire Ní Chinnéide in Dublin, who edits them for publication. She is illiterate in the Irish language, although she receives her early schooling through the medium of English. In the 1930s, a Dublin teacher, Máire Ní Chinnéide, who is a regular visitor to the Blaskets, urges Sayers to tell her life story to her son Micheál. He records them and brings them to the attention of the academic world. Flower is keenly appreciative of Sayers’ stories and tales.
The Norwegian scholar Carl Marstrander, who visits the island in 1907, urges Robin Flower of the British Museum to visit the Blaskets. She and Pádraig have eleven children, of whom six survive.
