    Trudy was a member of the RNC when we met. She was a member of the 1984 Republican National Committee Arrangements Committee for Ronald Reagan's Nominations Convention. She was bright, fun, smart and hard-working. My sincere sympathies to her family. She was "one in a million". - Peggy Venable

    I am so sorry to read this. Trudy was one of my high school gym teachers at WUHS in the l950's. I am happy to hear that she lived such a long and , hopefully, an enriched life.
