In 1976, Mikey and her then love partner Enrique Álvarez adopted a newborn whom they would call Daniel.
Death
At the age of 78, Fanny Mikey died due to complications of

The next day, her body was taken to Chapinero Cemetery where her remains were
Islas del Rosario where she owned an island and had a house.[8]
