Clean-up Needed

The text currently on this page needs further work. It was most likely imported or reproduced from a website associated with the subject of the page - possibly through a process involving far-from-perfect machine translation, often with awkward results. It is awaiting the attention of an experienced M3P editor, which could be you. It may be slightly out of date, or may need other elements taken care of appropriately, including proofreading or copy-editing for grammar and style.

Antonia Bartolo know as "Nellie", is best known as the home aide to the Blessed Dun Ġorġ Preca.

She was born on the 6th of May 1915 and started working for Dun Ġorġ at a young age. After his death, "Nellie" was the main witness in the lenghty Curia investigation into Dun Gorg's case for sainthood.

Her explainations of the life of poverty that the priest chose to live were remarkable, and she was thrilled on the day when Pope John II came to Malta in 2001 to declare her venerated employer blessed.

She died on 1 November 2003 at the age of 88. [[Category: ]]
