She died at the monastery at Quedlinburg on March 14 and was buried there with Henry. Her feast day is March 14th.

She devoted herself to building three convents and a monastery, was left in charge of the kingdom when Otto went to Rome in 962 to be crowned Emperor (often regarded as the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire), and spent most of the declining years of her life at the convent at Nordhausen she had built.
