«When you wish upon a star, makes
no difference where you are…» Our hearts are so sad as
we announce the passing of our beloved Trudy Lee Booker. Trudy passed
away peacefully at Hospice House, Fredericton on Sunday May 26, 2019.
lovingly watched over and comforted by her family and by the amazing
staff at Hospice House.
Born in Fredericton on January 24, 1962
she was a daughter of the late Earl Thomas Booker and the late Dolly
Katherine (McLean) Booker.
Trudy was one of those rare individuals
who endeared herself to anyone who needed an encouraging word or one
of her smiles that could light up a room. She was a much loved and
respected school bus driver (since 2006) for the NB Anglophone West
School District and was also Treasurer of the Local 1096 CUPE. She
also enjoyed another career, as a Baker, at Moxon’s Country
Pumpkin.
Never one to be idle for long, she
enjoyed making jewelry and in recent years, Trudy became an
accomplished artist and she loved to share her paintings with her
family. To say she loved Bingo would be an understatement. Getting
together with her «Bingo Pals» was always a
blast.
To many, Trudy became an
«Angel» in their lives as she visited folks every week
helping them with their cleaning needs or simply sitting with them for
a chat. Between coffee, muffins and conversation and the sharing of
pickles and recipes, she became a «breath of fresh air» and
a wonderful friend that made a difference wherever she
went.
Trudy loved her family and was a
dedicated mom to her two sons, Travis Barr of Edmonton, AB and Kyle
Barr of Fredericton. The strong bond with her only sister, Joy Booker
(Pierre Bigras) of Fredericton was a treasure in her life. She also
leaves behind her brother Earl Booker of Fredericton as well as
step-brothers, Myles McLean (Linda) of Stoney Creek, ON and Eugene
McLean Barb) of Woodstock, NB; nieces and
nephews.
The family will gather for a time of
visitation at Bishop’s Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road,
Fredericton on Saturday June 1, 2019 12:00 until 1:45 PM followed by a
service celebrating the life of Trudy Booker at 2:00 PM from
Bishop’s Funeral Home Chapel. Rev. Larry Matthews will
officiate. Interment, in the Rural Cemetery Extension, Woodstock Road,
will take place at a later date. For those who wish to remember Trudy
by way of a charitable donation, the family suggests donating to
Hospice House Fredericton or Cancer
Research.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Trudy Lee Booker 19622019..
