Trudy STEWART

EASTON, Trudy 1923 - 2008 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Trudy Easton (nee Stewart) on March 16, 2008. Born in Galahad, Alberta on July 1, 1923 to Carroll and Amy Stewart, Trudy is predeceased by her three brothers, Tommy, Gordon, and Jim and her sister Mary. She was also predeceased by her husband and love of her life, Steacy Easton on February 25, 1994. Trudy waited until Steacy's birthday before she was ready to leave us and join him, somewhere over the rainbow. Trudy was a woman of many skills and talents. She was a voracious reader, especially on matters of science and spirituality and she had a passion for learning that led her, in her forties, to the University of Calgary to earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree (with Distinction) in 1979. She also spent time studying painting and drawing at the Alberta College of Art. She was an avid and accomplished painter and a devoted golfer. Trudy had a quick wit and greatly enjoyed a hardy laugh and a glass of wine, preferably together. Trudy will be dearly missed by her children, Richard (Susan) Easton and Barb (Chip) Burgess, and her grandchildren, Anthony, Amy-Jean, Olivia, Chloe and Jack, as well as by her many nieces and nephews. Special thanks go to the staff at Carewest Sarcee for making Trudy's last few days as comfortable as was possible. A Service celebrating Trudy's life will be held at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (703 Heritage Drive S.W.) on Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. with the Rev. Peter Coutts officiating.
