Trudy was born to parents Albert Black and Marie (Ewain) Miller on April 4, 1945 in Hancock, NY. She married Leon M. Trask on August 11, 1962 in Fosterdale, NY and went as a bride to live in Readburn Rd., Walton at his family farm.
She retired from Hancock Central School February 8, 2016 after years of transporting students, first as a private contractor and then as a school bus driver. Trudy truly loved and enjoyed young people always having a smile, kind word and treat for them every day.
Surviving are three children: Leon Emerson and Melissa Trask of White Sulphur Springs; Ann and Scott Young of Hancock; and Clara Trask of Walton; six grandchildren: Crystal Reed of Downsville, Austin Trask of Hancock, Ryan and Owen Trask of White Sulphur Springs, and Tyler and Kelsey Young of Hancock; four brothers: Fred and Betty Black of Cassville, MO; Bert and Ann Black of Little Rock, AR; Gary and Toni Black of Clovis, CA; and Jerry Black of Little Rock, AR; a sister: Doris and Sid Royce of Ellenton, FL; a sister-in-law: Linda Trask of New Milford, PA; and many nieces, nephews and great grandchildren. Trudy was predeceased by her husband Leon; two sons, Walter F (Rick) Trask and David A. Trask; sister and brother-in-law, Phyllis (Trask) and Heinz Schiippel.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Delaware Valley Hospital and Delhi Rehab and Nursing Center for their care of Trudy.

I will miss her!
She was a wonderful helpful friend.
Favorite memories are riding with her in her side by side, and a looong time ago, bouncing up to Linda´s fire tower with her and the kids in the back of Sonny´s truck.
Rest in peace friend.
