Gertrude ‘Trudy’ Viola Frederickson
1919-2008
Private memorial services will be held for 28-year Bishop resident Gertrude “Trudy” Viola Frederickson.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden on Jan. 4, 1919, Trudy died at Northern Inyo Hospital in Bishop on May 24, 2008. She was 89.
As a young girl, Trudy came to America and was raised on a farm in Coopersville, Mich. After moving to Chicago, Ill., she met and married John, her wonderful husband of 65 years. Following the war, John and Trudy settled in Venice, Calif. where they raised their two sons. In 1973 they moved to June Lake and began a new adventure as co-owners of the June Lake Marina with their son, John, and his wife, Michelle.
In 1980 Trudy and John retired and moved to Bishop, which Trudy fondly called home until her death.
Trudy loved being with her family, animals and many dear friends. She spent many wonderful hours working in her garden, gazing out at the Sierra Nevada and watching the birds that were drawn to her yard. All who knew Trudy will miss and remember her sweet disposition, cheerful nature, kind heart and caring spirit.
Trudy was preceded in death by her husband, John.
She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, John and Michelle Frederickson of June Lake; son, Steve Frederickson of Bishop; granddaughter and her husband, Heather and Jeff Topp; great-granddaughter, Audrey Topp; nephew and niece, David and Donna Vazquez; sister-in-law, Harriet Tobey and her family; brother-in-law, Richard Frederickson; and many great friends.
