I read the later part of her life was not happy......she suffered from depression and bipolar disorder...
That was actually a problem mostly in her youth. John Astin loved her but just couldn't deal with the extreme nature of the disorder. She seemed to have worked through it later in life.

She was an American Treasure.
I followed her magnificent career too. Her personal life had its ups and downs but like everything else she struggled hard to overcome her difficulties. Happiness is a choice, which unfortunately she was not always able to make. However, she had a good life up to the end. She became an advocate for mental health and enjoyed the times where depression was held at bay.

"This morning, our beloved mother, wife, matriarch and the exquisite artist, humanitarian, and champion for mental health, Anna Patty Duke Pearce, closed her eyes, quieted her pain and ascended to a beautiful place,” her family said in a statement. “We celebrate the infinite love and compassion she shared through her work and throughout her life.”
