Kenneth Elbert Trowbridge passed away peacefully on Friday, September 19, 2025. He recently enjoyed celebrating his 90th birthday with his family. Born on June 25, 1935, to the late Edith and William Trowbridge, Ken lived in Mine Hill all his life and was married to Ruth Ann Duvall Trowbridge (deceased) for 66 years.

Ken and Ruth raised their family in Mine Hill enjoying family vacations and volunteering and participating in many Mine Hill activities. Ken retired from Rowe International after 30 years of service.

Ken was a model railroad enthusiast, enjoying researching the history of railroading in the US. He enjoyed sharing his passion for model railroading with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They all loved Pop-pop's trains. Ken loved attending his children's and grandchildren's school and sporting events. Ken's peaceful demeaner, kind spirit and friendly style made him easy for family, friends and strangers to chat with and listen to his stories.

Ken is survived by his daughter, Zoe Ann McGraw, son Keith Trowbridge (Lauri), grandchildren Lauren Furda (Ben), Maximillian McGraw, Courtney Sturtevant (Thomas), Alexander Trowbridge (Kate), Kara Richardson (Nick), Jennifer Gorecki (James), and great-grandchildren Madeline, Bennett and Conrad Trowbridge, Eleanor, Owen, and Meredith Richardson, Mila Sturtevant and Colette Gorecki.

Ken had five siblings: Robert Trowbridge (deceased), Carole Jean Trowbridge, Marje Mueller, William Trowbridge (Cindy) and Linda (Tony) Ganguzza. He is survived by many cherished nieces, nephews and cousins.
