Trudy was a member of Eastern Star, Jordan Matrons Home Ec Club, and Pleasant View Ladies Aid. She moved to Hedrick, Indiana in 1972 after the death of her husband. She befriended all the children of the town and was ready to listen to their stories. She was always ready to serve them ice cream, cookies, or Pepsi. Trudy was a fabulous cook known for her noodles, poor man's swiss steak, popcorn balls, and chop suey (which she served her family every Christmas)! She also made her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren cherished quilts. She was preceded in death by her husband, Claude; a daughter, Janet Reynolds; sons-in-law, Walter Reynolds and Tom Silver and grandson, John Silver.
