I te hotoke o te tau 1996, i hopukina ia ki te hohipera. I te tau 1997, i tino ngoikore ia, i korero, i kai iti noa iho, a i mataku ka mate ia. I whakaatuhia e ia nga tohu o te mate hinengaro i ona tau whakamutunga. I te marama o Mei 2003, i kitea he pukupuku kino i te kaki o Hepburn. I whakatauhia kia kaua e uru ki te rongoa, a ka mate ia i te mate ngakau i te 29 o Hune 2003, kotahi marama i muri i tana huritau 96 i te whare o te whanau Hepburn i Fenwick, Connecticut. I tanumia ia ki Cedar Hill Cemetery i Hartford. I hiahia a Hepburn kia kaua he rama whakamaharatanga. I te Maehe o te tau 2003, i whakawhiwhia ki a ia nga taonga nui o te whare tapere o te motu. I runga i te tono a George S. Bush, te perehitini o te New York City, i whakawhiwhia ki a Hepburn.
