Margaret Trusty Obituary
She was born in Windham, Vt., in 1914, to Elias and Minnie Robinson Stowell. She loved to cook, bake, sing, and tell stories of how, when she first came to New Haven from Vermont, she was a nanny for the George H.W. Bush family when George W. was a baby.
She was predeceased by her eight brothers, Clifford, Leonard, Edwin, Robert, George, Lewis, Martin, and Floyd; and her seven sisters, Effie, Myrtie, Marion, Hazel, Florence, Alice and Evelyn.
Many thanks to the staff at Whitney Manor for their excellent care of Margaret.
She will be buried in Windham, Vt., next to her beloved Jim. Arrangements are under the direction of the Wallingford Funeral Home 809 North Main St., Ext., Wallingford.

Margaret, You were a wonderful jewel in this world. You were cleary a friend and supoprt for Barbara Reed and family, sharing the best of times and standing as a rock during the worst of times. Your beautiful carrot cake remains among the best memories of my wedding day. My children and I still remember your cookies,one of your empty tins a cherished reminder of your invitation for them to "eat or play." Jim must be so glad to see you, his best friend. Thank you for you love, your kindness, your shared recipes, and for touching our lives in a most amazing way. God bless.

My dearest aunt peg, I'm sure their is a rose garden that needs attention in heaven. You will absolutely be missed. Although I haven't seen you in years I have thought about you often. Can you please give my grandmother ( Florence ) a big hug for me and tell her I'm o.k. I love you, and your chest from Montgomery wards is in safe keeping! Charles Wilburn xoxo...
