Let her leave at her own time, since you've observed her trying to be with the family.
I'd a 14-year-old budgie who'd always been the high-and-mighty, touch-me-not, badly-spoiled character, boss of the house.
Her health dropped drastically one day, and I started covering her cage from the draft when I saw she's getting weaker. Towards her last moment, she got down to the bottom of the cage where I'd left a gap to observe her, and sat very closely to me for quite a while before she left.
Still treasure that moment today, few years already.
