Trudy was raised in the Goodlettsville area.  She attended Goodlettsville High School and graduated from the Watkins Institute.  She was an accountant for Kenneth Duncan Painting for over 30 years.

Trudy’s passion was her horses and the horse show community.  She loved showing horses, barrel racing, as well as designing custom made rodeo shirts.   Her family will remember her as an outspoken spitfire who took care of everyone she knew.  She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and as of very recently, great grandmother, who will be missed dearly.
