Ms. Grade was injured in a car accident in Marin County on Jan. 11.
She spent several weeks in a hospital before she died there of complications related to her injuries, her brother Matthew Grade, a physician, said.
The introverted Ms. Grade acknowledged that she was a most unlikely innkeeper.
“If they put me in the front, I would be bad for business,” she said in a 2003 interview with The San Francisco Chronicle.
She also admitted that when she opened her inn, Manka’s Inverness Lodge, she didn’t have the first idea about running an establishment.
