Mazhar preferred to live quietly, away from the glamor of stardom and fame, like an ordinary Egyptian woman. She wore the hijab and retired completely in 1985. She was never ashamed of any of her prior works. It is reported that Yusuf Sibai had offered her roles in his film productions but she refused because it had scenes of lust.[https://web.archive.org/web/20170312013013/http://gololy.com:80/2012/12/12/63293/%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D9%85%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%8A-%D8%A3%D8%AB%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AA-%D8%BA%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%B2%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%84.html سناء مظهر.. الشقراء التي أثارت غيرة زميلاتها] {{in lang|ar}} She died on the morning of 6 August 2018 at the age of 86 years.[https://www.alarabiya.net/ar/culture-and-art/2018/08/07/%D8%B1%D8%AD%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%B3%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D9%85%D8%B8%D9%87%D8%B1-%D8%B9%D9%86-86-%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A7.html حيل الفنانة المصرية سناء مظهر عن 86 عاما] {{in lang|ar}}
