Dewar died from breast cancer on November 4, 2006, aged 70, at a hospice in Alexandria, Virginia. She left no immediate survivors. Her ashes were buried at the Dewar family plot, alongside her parents, at Stockton Rural Cemetery, in Stockton, California.

She was credited with perfecting the "Dewar walk," a reference to her wandering near the area, and in the corridors, positioning herself to be the first to question senators as they left the chamber after a vote.
