Lena Alexandra Yovitchitch

[SWH1]

Hello and thank you for looking,

This is not my usual WW1 Scottish Women's Hospital search. But another incredible lady who during WW1 had a remarkable largely untold story. I have been told she was born in London 1885.  That could be wrong but certainly fits.  Her war years we know of but desperately seek her DOD.  I believe her mother was Scottish and the family lived in Edinburgh. I wonder if anyone can help me with place and date of death?   She had one of her many books last published in 1957 so I would assume her death was after that. 

Many thanks

Alice Mary Jacobina Rutherford born 3 April 1859, father Robert Rutherford merchant deceased, mother Maria residing in Edinburgh
