Gertrude Avery, known as "Trudy," passed away and went to be with her Lord on Memorial Day, May 29 2006 at age 68. She was privileged to be able to spend her last few days surrounded by dear friends and family at Caro community Hospital.
Gertrude Stark was born March 6, 1938 in Bay City. She was preceded in death by her father Lester Stark, mother Margaret Stark, stepmother Marvel Stark, and brothers Clarence Stark and Jack Stark.
Trudy Avery was survived by her lifelong friend and the love of her life, Norman Avery. Married in 1956, Trudy and Norm Avery celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on April 21, 2006.
She was also survived by their four children and their spouses, Lee and Mary Avery of Adelaide, Australia, Bryon and Sherrie of Caro, Terry and Mary of Bay City and Lisa of Caro. She was the precious Grandma and Nana of nine grandchildren, Ellen, Tyler, Gracie, Monica, Shawn, Matt, Danielle, Brent, and Alexis; and Great Grandma to Kaylee; two aunts, Esther Stoner of Clawson and Virginia Stark of Detroit as well as many nieces and nephews.
Trudy lived in Caro most of her life and worshiped at the First Baptist Church where she served in many capacities: faithful member, financial secretary, choir member, and Sunday school teacher.
She worked at the Caro Community Hospital from 1972, finishing there as Director of Materials Management until she was too ill early this year. During her time at the hospital, Trudy was always more than an employee working closely with the hospital auxiliary, the hospital's endowment foundation and playing an instrumental role in the development of the hospital's new facilities. She also served on the board of the Michigan Association of Hospital Auxiliaries.
Funeral: First Baptist Church, Caro with Pastor Ronald Wigand officiating. Entombment at Indianfields Township Cemetery. Collon Funeral Home
