Terry Trudell Obituary

My dear unique husband was freed from his earthly pain Nov 29, leaving us too early but at the right time. His sons Marshall and Stephen and wife Rachel mourn the loss of this steadfast anchor in their lives. Born in Los Angeles, childhood in Tarzana , his family moved to Woodland Hills where he attended Ridgewood Military Academy and Taft High School . He earned his single pilot's license in 1967 & was honorably discharged from the US Army in 1973. Terry resided in Seattle until moving to Bee Caves /Spicewood in 1982. He hand built the family cabin and recreated a semblance of his childhood farm life. He attended the Friends Meeting of Austin (Quaker) for several years. A man of prodigious skills, he had an extensive varied library , avidly living his father's maxim " you can learn anything if you learn to read."

There will be a circle of remembering in later January.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
