My heart just aches for each of you and myself. 7th grade friends for a lifetime..... I shall always cherish her laughter and down to earth wisdom. She gave to those who knew her and strangers. We all loved her. This has left a whole in my heart. There will never be another Trudi.

One of my favorite things about Trudi was the way she would introduce and/or talk about others. If there was a crowd of people in her house, and there often was, and you asked her "Trudi, who's that," she'd respond with "Oh, that's so and so, she's such and such's people." That way you'd know who they were related to and/or how they fit in. I'll never forget the first time she introduced me to someone and followed my name with "She's my people." It felt so good to be in the fold. She just had a way of making everyone feel incredibly special. Missy, Tommy, Nick...you're my people and I love you.

Tom and Family, For the last five years we have been fortunate to have Trudi and you as neighbors. She always had a big smile and wonderful laugh. And the special treats she would make for us. Such a lovely woman who is missed by all who knew her.

I went to High School with Trudi. She was indeed a special person. Even though we have not been in contact in over 45 years, I still have fond memories of her. My prayers are with the family. God Bless.

Mrs. Pappas,Tommy,Missy, Nick & Ann, We extend our condolences to you & your family in the passing of someone that you all know was a true friend, coworker and all around special person in our lives. If you wanted your spirits lifted all you had to do was be around Trudi. If you wanted to hear the truth, be around Trudi.If you wanted to get the right person upset, be around Trudi. She was the sweetest person that have come to RPV to work but you don't ask her for anything at the last minute as she would always say " your failure to plan on your part did not become an emergency on her part." I loved her for it and will always hold a place in my heart for her. God will give each of you the strength that you need to carry you through these times.Peace be still. Tommy, you keep holding on and it's going to be alright. Love you, Cathy, Alonzo and the children.
We love you Aunt Trudi and miss you!!!

The Pappas family lived on Lincoln Ave at the same time my family did and I remember Trudi very well. It's sad to hear of her passing and I hope her family finds peace in God's love during this difficult time.
