Is this the correct way to write this sentence?

Queen Mary wanted her death to be remembered; therefore, she staged a pageant.

No, use a comma instead of the semicolon.

Queen Mary wanted her death to be remembered, therefore, she staged a pageant.

I think "therefore" could deserve a semi-colon. But then I suppose the text is being continued.
