The Honorable Trudi Walend

So sorry Ken and family to see this about TRUDI. I remember being your flower girl in your wedding. May she rest peacefully Joan Walend Koons

A good friend, a good supporter and contributor to the State of North Carolina in her role as a public servant. It was a pleasure to have known her. Blessing to the members of the family.

I met Trudi through serving in the Henderson County Republican Women´s Club in 2012. I did not know her well, but was impressed with her history of local government service. Trudi had such a welcoming warm smile. I ran into her a few weeks ago in the grocery store. Even though she was in a wheel chair, she still had that wonderful smile. She may have been small in stature, but she was large in heart and spirit. A great example to us all. LaWren Booth
