George Trudgen Obituary

George Elmer Trudgen, 92, of Dallas, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the home of his son and daughter-in-law.

George is survived by his son, Floyd K. Trudgen; daughter-in-law, Cynthia Trudgen; grandchildren, Taylor Monk and husband, Robert Monk; and Sadie Trudgen; sister, Helen Lewis; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Catherine; his parents, Richard and Lillian; and many siblings.

A dedicated and hardworking man, George began working in the coal mines in the fourth grade to help support his family during the Great Depression. His career spanned many roles, from building cabinets, contributing to the construction of Newberry Estates, to eventually retiring from Nicholson Steam Trap.

George was known for his simplicity, great sense of humor, friendliness, kindness, and love for his family which was evident to everyone who knew him. He enjoyed spending time in nature, walking the neighborhood, Frances Slocum State Park, Ricketts Glen, bird watching and mowing the lawn. He especially enjoyed breakfast out on the weekends with his granddaughters.

In accordance with his and his family's wishes, there will be no funeral services. If you wish to reach Floyd, you can call 570-472-1711.

Arrangements are by Harold C. Snowdon Funeral Home Inc., Shavertown.
