My gran had Alzheimer's before she died so I have an idea how you feel. We didn't donate her brain (it wouldn't have occured to us) but I make a donation to Alzheimer's research every Christmas (when she died) in her memory.
I have lovely memories of my gran before she developed it too, and those are the ones that come to my mind ten years later, much more so than the more recent memories of the frightened and confused old lady she later became, I'm sure it will be the same for you.

I'm sorry for your loss.
