Gertrude Edwards Obituary
Gertrude Mary Edwards
Floral City, Florida
On September 18, 2022, Trudy Edwards passed away in the arms of her family who loved her deeply.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 28, 1940, Trudy was the eldest of six children. She enjoyed sewing, fishing, gardening, music, and above all else, God and family.
Trudy is survived by the love of her life Clyde, to which she was married for almost 60 years. While cherished greatly by five children, fourteen grandchildren, and twenty-three great-grandchildren, she was also loved by many other dear friends who had been touched by her caring, unselfish heart.
Trudy was exceptionally charitable and spent most of her life thinking of others. She will be missed beyond belief by all who knew her.
The private interment will take place at the Florida National Cemetery in Sumter County.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Though we never met, Trudy greatly impacted and was deeply loved by two people whom I love. I have heard of her good works and I give glory to God for her shining example of his love. My condolences to all who loved and will miss her.

My tribute to Trudy is in the form of a prayer:
Oh, God,
Receive our Trudy, wife, mother, grandmother and friend,
Give us all Your comfort,
Our broken hearts to mend.
We thank you for the life she lived
To the glory of Your name.
Give us the peace, grant us the grace
To go and live the same...
Extending kindness everyday with integrity and love
She made the world a better place...
Receive her home above.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen

Elle and Todd... kids etc. prayers hugs and love to you all. Your mama; a sweet soul. Blessed that I got to know her. She was tickled when I cooked for them. She´s teaching Jesus all about being "Bulletproof" as she lived with Him in her heart. You; your parents sweetest gift; will shine and continue to make differences in lives . You two are amazing parents.. Mom was extremely proud of you two.
