(A.G.) Mrs. Ethel Nagy died on May 3rd, 1980. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Darnay and was born on May 27th, 1920 in McKeesport, Pa., where she was raised in the Hungarian Reformed Church. She was married to the late Charles Nagy for 34 years. Charles passed away in December 1979. Their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Charlene) Cross and their first and only grandson, Charlie Cross reside in the State of New York. Upon her marriage Ethel joined the Hungarian Reformed Church of Duquesne, Pa., where she remained a faithful member until her passing. She was actively involved in all functions of her church, its Women’s Club and Cancer Dressing, branch No. 202 of the HRFA and held various offices in these organizations. She was buried from her church, members of the Women’s Club stood honor guard at her funeral service, and she was laid to rest next to her husband in the church cemetery. She is sadly missed by her family, her friends and fellow church members. May her memory be blessed, and may the Lord comfort and console all of us who feel her absence. (Rev.

The donations of the HRFA to both denominations were presented by the President in the new Fellowship Hall of the Bethlen Home. The fraternal work of the HRFA and its cooperation with the denominations was outlined by the Vice President-Secretary. It was a great pleasure to see the youth of both denominations enjoying the spiritual and material values of the camp. We were glad to observe that many ministers with their wives and dedicated layleaders participated as counselors. The young people were the guests of the Home for an outdoor American-Hungarian barbecue lunch.
