Corry was living with Beatrice at her apartment on the High Street when the horror unfolded on January 6 this year.
She had previously lived in a home The Styles in Berkshire that was a former home of crime writer Agatha Christie.
The killer had worked at Eton, where Princes Harry and William went to school, until 2008.
He was teaching biology at private girls' school Godolphin and Latymer, in West London, until April 2020.
The establishment counts Boris Johnson's wife Carrie Johnson, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Nigella Lawson among its alumni.
Tributes flooded in for Beatrice, who was part of the University of the Third Age and was an award-winning volunteer at the Campden Home Nursing charity shop.
CEO Helen Makaritis said: "Beatrice was an incredible lady, she had so much energy and would regularly have completed a 5 mile walk before her shift in the shop.
"Described as a 'force of nature' by the shop team, she was always positive and never afraid to voice her opinion, a very intelligent lady who was knowledgeable about so many things. Never without a scarf or a twinkle in her eye, she was loved by us all.
"We are lucky to have many funny anecdotes and stories in our memory banks and she will be remembered with great affection.
"We send our heartfelt condolences to her family, especially her grandchildren, of whom she talked of often and with immense pride."
