Trudy was born September 29, 1943 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Joseph and Gertrude (nee. Greger) Koszuth.

They also enjoyed traveling to visit relatives and friends. Trudy was a “People Person”. She cared about everyone she met and enjoyed surprising her friends and family with special gifts. Despite her medical problems and living at Waterford Senior Living for several years, she always had a smile when someone stopped to talk to her.
