96 years young.

Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away peacefully in 100 Mile District General Hospital on June 16, 2017.

Trudy was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Jesse and Elizabeth Arnold. Trudy was always quick to joke and was known as a bit of a prankster. She loved to cook, play games, dance and go on driving adventures.

Trudy is survived by her son Garry (Becky); her three daughters, Judy, Brenda (Dean), and Debbie (Marvin); grandchildren, Todd, Lenny, Clint, Tammi, Jesse, Matt, Sarah, Nicole and Katie; along with many great grandchildren.

Trudy was loved and will be missed by all.


Dance with the angels.


A very heartfelt “thank you” to Dr. Vithalal for her caring and concern. Many thanks to the nurses at 100 Mile District General Hospital for the gentle care they took with Trudy. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the care aides and nursing staff at Fischer Place who brought a smile to Trudy’s face and brightened her life.
