Obituary for Gertrude "Trudy" Mack

Rochester: Passed away suddenly on January 27 at the age of 88. Trudy was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald. Trudy enjoyed crocheting, knitting, and sewing. She was an accomplished pianist and an avid cardplayer. She also loved constructing and decorating doll houses, often donating them to various local charitable organizations. For many years, Trudy was an active member of the East Rochester Senior Center, where every month she created and posted an amusing bulletin board display. In past years, Trudy and Don were very active members of the Republican party and enjoyed meeting many Republican celebrities - one of her most treasured photographs was one of herself with Ronald Reagan.

Trudy is survived by her daughters Gwen (Lee) Irving, Wendy (Frank) DeMarzo, Rebecca (Carl) McNamara and Erika (Paul) McBride, sons Alan (Laura Westfall) Mack and David (Margaret Smith) Mack, nineteen grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and her second husband, Robert Ockenden.
