Regardless of her political stances, there is plenty to critique.
The "sound" old public-school-boy* persona that used to rule Westminster used to be considered trustworthy by the ruling class. Now it's widely seen as risible. Wherever we see honour or holiness we should be very careful IMHO, it's often two-faced.
Theresa May's "selfless-public-service" persona represented inflexibility to the point of negligence. I don't doubt that she did personally suffer for it. But in taking the lines she did, she inflicted far more suffering and pain in some of the most vulnerable in society. She persisted with a disasterous public policy with Brexit. Whatever the politics of it, the inflexibility that formed the subtance of her persona was dysfunctional.
She'll be remembered for her "hostile environment policy" and "Brexit means Brexit".
* "public school" = private, often elite, schools
