Mrs. Davies was such a wonderful woman. Straight to the point and always laughing. Our parents enjoyed each other's company and nights of playing cards. My deepest condolences to Elaine, John and Harry and all your families. Your mom will be missed. - Posted by: Dawn Smith (Family friend) on: Mar 28, 2023

Trudy and I worked in the Supply Department at the Winnipeg School Board and became "forever friends". Bruce and I moved to Calgary in 1969 and kept in close touch with Trudy and Ray over the years and got together whenever we could. We loved Trudy and like many others will deeply miss her. Sorry we are unable to attend her service in person but will join the Celebration of Life online. Our Love, Janet and Bruce. - Posted by: Janet and Bruce Bodner (Friends) on: Mar 27, 2023
