Only mentions I could find were with her initials rather than her full name

I can find passenger list mentions (S. M. Denison) that indicate born c. 1868, and alive to 1937. The last mention was from Belfast to Morocco. No deaths registered in England and Wales. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:09, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

30 May 1911 article in The Register (via Trove) says of Belfast.
