In a life spanning mules and moon shots, Trudy was a woman with an exceptionally sweet nature and lively mind. Her unshakable belief in woman's rights and the empowerment of the less privileged led her to years of work with The College Fund, the Girl Scouts and her church. Trudy, her husband Bob and daughters traveled untold thousands of miles of American highways with curiosity and adventure around each bend. She was always a magnet to people, children and all animals who sensed her inherent goodness.
