February 28, 1934 – August 25, 2020

Gertrud (Trudy) Ulrich was born in Toggenburg, Switzerland February 28, 1934 to Gertrud Kunz and Ernst Frei. Trudy met Jürg (George) Ulrich in 1958 and were married in 1960. She was a devoted wife to Jürg (George) Ulrich for 60 years. Her life was dedicated to her husband, 3 sons, 8 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren who she built her life around. She was also involved and active in her church and a friend to many others.

Trudy passed away peacefully at the age of 86 years on August 25, 2020.  She is survived by her husband Jürg (George) Ulrich, son Martin Ulrich (Wendy), grandchildren Joel Ulrich (Jessica), great grandchildren, Madison, Ava, Presley and Hudson, and Hannah Wollin (Robert), son Bernhard Ulrich (Val), grandchildren Stephanie Martin (Scott), Andrew Ulrich, Miranda Cooper (Nic) great grandchildren Ellie, Leopold and Levi, and Elarah McConnell, son Stefan Ulrich (Carma), grandchildren Carlina Ulrich and Amy Ulrich. She is survived by her siblings Ernst Frei (Emma), sister Ruth Oettel (Berndt) and sister Esther Bösch (Ueli) as well as many other relatives and friends in both Switzerland and Canada.

Trudy was gifted in areas of bread baking, knitting and other handwork. Her “zopf” (braided bread) was an anticipated treat at every family gathering. She enjoyed making children’s quiet books for years. Those creations reflected the things that she valued and appreciated most about life including nature, animals and simplicity.

Trudy was devoted in her faith and prayed for as many as 250 people daily from memory including family members, friends from her church and from the community. It was her wish that all come to know Christ as their personal Savior and live life honoring to the Lord.

Trudy will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

A private service will be held Monday, August 31, 2020 by invitation only.
