In 1997 Dr. N. Louise Young, Nellie, died of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Young's career spanned more than fifty years and often she was the influence for many black female doctors in the state of Maryland. Throughout her illustrious career she made leaps and bounds, not just for blacks but for black women, in the field of medicine. By the 1960s Dr. Young was integrating hospitals throughout Baltimore while becoming a pioneer in that aspect as well. Before the integration and large critical acclaim however, she had gotten married. Young’s husband was also a doctor of the name Floarda Howard, they would divorce after some time and she would remarry to William E. Spencer. As Young got into her later years her lasting legacy included her being a lifetime member of the NAACP, and being a pioneer in the field of ob-gyn.
