Nuala pell biography of abraham

Nuala Pell lived a remarkable life full of grace, dignity, and passion for the causes she believed in. With her passing at age 89 on April 13, the John A. Hartford Foundation has lost a former Trustee, friend, and faithful supporter of our work to improve the health of older Americans.

She will be greatly missed.
