She was the best Step Mom I could have asked for. I love her so much we have lots of memories she will be greatly missed
I never got to meet her in person, but knew of her recent health challenges through Roy and Tree. But just a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon her inspirational church testimony on Facebook, and felt I’ve known her all my life. Our Lord prompted her to share her deep and abiding faith just when we needed it. Norma and I hope so many fond memories help ease the family’s sorrow.
Trudy will be missed by so many. She lived a life of caring and nurturing her family and anyone else she met who needed it. Love from The DCamps
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love
“Trudy ” will remain in our hearts forever. With loving memories. Love, Steve and Charli

Her legacy of making every day matter and caring for others selflessly will remain an inspiration for all of us that knew her.
