Mom, as known by her kids Ron and Dan, Trudy, as known by her many friends and Gertrude, as known by her siblings passed away on January 2, 2025. She had four grandchildren; William,Nique, Ben and Sophia who referred to her as Meme.
Mom was a firecracker.
She started her career in the 60’s working in a man’s world at a small radio station in North Bay, Ontario. She taught her children to be strong and work hard. She broke barriers and finished her career in Toronto as a vice president in one of the largest advertising agencies in the world, J Walter Thompson. She had a strong and honest work ethic and was respected by her colleagues.
Mom married William St Amour in 1956 and they created a family with Ron and myself. Mom remarried her husband Guy Boudaud in 1995 and spent the next 30 years together. They never left each other’s side. She loved him dearly. Guy passed in 2022 and mom talked of him daily.
Trudy loved to travel and after retirement spent the winters with Guy in Florida. Although Mom was from North Bay she never did like the cold.
Mom loved people and a good celebration with friends. Everywhere she went there was a get together with friends along with snacks and a nice glass of wine. You could always hear boisterous laughter at every get together. After moving into her retirement community in Guelph her favourite time was going down to dinner to see her friends.
Mom, Trudy, Gertrude, Meme will be missed. She always made a big impact on everyone she met. God bless you and rest in peace mom.
Love.
