The Advertiser Adelaide Wed. 29th Jan 1947; The Late Mrs. Graham Wald; News of the sudden death of Mrs. Graham Wald, following a heart attack while she was staying at Victor Harbor, came as a severe shock to a wide circle of friends. One of the most loved leaders in Adelaide's social life, Mrs. Wald's hospitality belonged to the old and gracious school of entertaining. At her home in North Adelaide she kept open house for her friends, who ranged from the very young to her own contemporaries. Although in recent years she had lived very quietly, spending much of her time in her lovely garden, and enjoying the company or her grandchildren, she still kept in close touch with her friends and her warm sense of hospitality never flagged. Although it was not possible for her to take an active part in patriotic service during the last war. she raised considerable sums of money for war funds. One of her special interests was the collection and publication of a recipe book to which her friends contributed their favorite recipes. This was sold for the benefit of Naval and Red Cross funds. And another money raising activity was the holding of bridge parties on Wednesday evenings at her own home, the proceeds of which went to patriotic funds. Mrs. Wald's record of service during the first world war was a splendid one. Mrs. C. R. J. Glover recalls that during her term of office as Lady Mayoress, Mrs. Wald never failed her in support of patriotic activities, and she was one of the most faithful workers for the Red Cross. Mrs. Wald is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Bill Hope Murray, of Ambleside. and two sons. Mr. Irvine Wald. of Adelaide, and Mr. Colin Wald who lives in New South Wales.
