Wilfred Laurier and Émilie Barthe had an "ambiguous relationship" for many years even though both were married. Armand Renaud Lavergne is widely thought to be their illegitimate son.
In 1922, her husband, Joseph Lavergne died. On October 15, 1924, at the age of 75, Émilie joined the Grey Nuns as a recluse.
The loss of her eldest child and only daughter, Gabrielle, in 1928, sent Barthe into a depression.
Émilie Barthe would eventually die on May 10, 1930. She was buried in Arthabaska. Described in 1903 as the most brilliant society woman in French Canada, she was a mondaine fitting for an exceptional period of Canadian history.
