From Fredericksburg Funeral Home:
Trudy Brune left this world peacefully on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at the age of 89. She maintained her loving spirit and giving heart until the end.
Trudy was born to the late James and Frances Elaine McClendon in Houston, TX on July 6, 1933. She was the oldest of three children. She became a Christian when she was eight years old and held her dedicated faith in God throughout her life. She is now with her Heavenly Father, many beloved family members, friends, and her favorite furry friend "Dolly".
After graduating from Stephen F. Austin High School in Houston, TX in 1951, Trudy married her high school sweetheart, Ed Brune. They were married for 67 years and had four children: Larry Brune, Karen Brune, Kay Brune Langreder, and Kathy Brune Iosue. After retirement, Trudy and Ed relocated to the beautiful Texas Hill Country and resided in Fredericksburg, TX for the past 29 years.
Trudy enjoyed writing poetry, quilting, sewing, and singing along with the Gaither Brothers gospel music. She probably held the biggest "bragging rights" of completing over 137 puzzles in the past four years - while living at the Villages of Windcrest Assisted Living. Her favorite hobby was thrift shopping - where she was known to be very frugal and could stretch the dollar across the state of Texas!
Trudy was very charitable. She and Ed both gave generously to many wonderful causes. In recognition of Trudy's life-long love of animals, she and Ed funded the Hill Country SPCA (a no-kill shelter) in Fredericksburg. Their charitable giving crossed into real life as they had cared for many ailing family members throughout the years. They contributed to the local Hospice and funded the Brune Professional Building in Fredericksburg. Trudy also enjoyed volunteering for the Hill Country SPCA thrift store and Hospice in her younger years.
Trudy loved her husband and all her family. It was Trudy and Ed's love for kids that led them to invest in the lives of many children in need at the Hill Country Youth Ranch locations in Ingram and Leakey, TX. It was a true joy for Trudy and Ed to see children have a chance of a bright future through education and a secure home.
Trudy was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind many precious memories. She is survived by her son Larry, her daughters Karen, Kay (Ted), and Kathy, her grandchildren Kathryn (Dave), Michelle (Kyle), Ashley (Troy), Kevin (Kate), Kelsey Nicole, Madeleine, and her great-grandchildren Thomas, Birdie, and Ella. Trudy was predeceased by her loving husband, Ed Brune, in 2019.
CELEBRATION OF LIFE on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at First Baptist Church at 1407 E Main St in Fredericksburg, TX:Visitation will be at 9 - 10 am and the Service will be held at 10 am.
Burial will immediately follow at the Greenwood Cemetery at 1665 N Llano St in Fredericksburg, TX.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hill Country Youth Ranch in Ingram, TX or the Hill Country SPCA in Fredericksburg, TX.
