Trudy Vera SKJONSBERG

SKJONSBERG, Trudy Vera June 7, 1947 - March 25, 2009 It is with great sadness and love, that the family of Trudy Skjonsberg announce her passing at the age of 61 years, after a thirty year battle with cancer. Trudy's philosophy was not to be dying of cancer, but to be living with cancer. With this attitude, her strong spirit, courage, and strength she touched and enriched the lives of all who were honoured to be part of her life. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Ron; her mother-in-law Marj; stepdaughter Sherry; brothers Vern (Susan) and Allan (Helen); sister Amy (Calvin); sister-in-law Lora, and their families. Trudy was predeceased by her mother Vera; her father George; stepfather Nels; and father-in-law Jay. At Trudy's request, there will be no Funeral Service.
