My sympathy goes out to all of the Trudeaus. Ma Bear was always so very nice to me. I was amazed at her ability to remember all of the birthdays of not only her own family but those of all of her friends. I hope that all that knew her will smile when they think of her. She will be missed by all. Rest in Peace.

I miss Joan so much at 3 Oaks. She reminded me of my mom towards the end. My sympathy and love go out to all of Joan's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was an amazing lady who raised a most beautiful family in the hardest of circumstances. She joins her husband now, and Joe, my 1970 classmate. I will think of all of you often. God Bless.

Fred & Sue and the entire Trudeau Family,
Sincere condolences & sympathy upon the passing of your Mom, Joan. Will always remember her help in securing my 1st car loans back in the late '60's at the credit union and, of course, the great job she did raising her family, particularly after your Dad passed away in the early '70's. A strong woman, to say the least. May she find eternal peace in the arms of God.
