PORT DE GRAVE - The whole community of Port de Grave was saddened on April 3 when word was received that Nellie Ralph had passed away at the General Hospital, St. John's.

The doctor and ambulance were called and she was taken to hospital at St. John's. She never regained consciousness and passed away one week later. Nellie had spent all her lifetime at Port de Grave.

Along with her other duties she ran a store and cared for her husband who has a heart condition. She also cared for Rev. G. H. Maidment, retired Anglican clergyman, up to the time of his death in April 1969. In addition to this her home was always open to all visiting clergy and their families and one cannot but wonder how she provided such faithful service to all. She will be sadly missed and it is doubtful if her place here can ever really be filled. Her funeral, considered the largest ever held here, took place on Sunday, April 5 at 2:30 p.m.; from her home to St. Luke's Church which was filled to capacity.
