Trudy will be missed by all her family as she was a great mother, inspiration, teacher, and friend. She was a role model for all the women in the family with her strength, love, commitment, and caring way.

So we say goodbye to a wonderful woman, leader, mother, and friend to all. We wish her the best forever. We know that she and our father are together again forever.A funeral service will be held Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 12:00 Noon at Walton’s Chapel of the Valley, 1281 North Roop Street, Carson City, Nevada.
