Trudy was born in Rock Island, Texas to William and Calista (Humbird) DeFoor. She moved to the Kansas City area in the late 1940s, and worked as a secretary for Whitaker Cable and Union Carbide. She was affiliated with the Church of Christ. In her free time, Trudy enjoyed playing bridge and oil painting. She was a trophy-winning ballroom dancer, and on many occasions took to remodeling the rooms in her home by herself! She was independent, strong, and had a smile that could light up a room. She will be missed by her many nieces, nephews, and a large extended family whom she loved dearly.
Trudy was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Barbara Jean; her parents; and six siblings.
