\t\t\tLinda Lou Trudnowski \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Linda Lou Trudnowski, 84, of Shillington, PA passed away Friday, July 31st, at Reading Hospital & Medical Center, West Reading.<\/p>\n
Linda was born in Reading, PA on July 11, 1942, a daughter of the late Margaret I. (Yocum) and Harold S. Garman.<\/p>\n
Linda graduated from Reading High School in 1960. She would go on to \u201cearn a Doctorate\u201d, as her children observed, independently raising five accomplished, devoted kids. Linda worked as a server while her children were young, both at the former John Wanamaker\u2019s, and at Frymoyer\u2019s Tavern. Linda held an office assistant position for two decades at AST, INC. Bernville, PA, working side-by side with her adult children, and retired in 2023.<\/p>\n
Linda cared for her home with joy and made everyone that entered feel welcomed. She was known to be a gentle, steady presence who patiently listened to anyone that needed someone to talk to. Generous with laughter, hugs and food, Linda asked for little and was grateful for the little pleasures she valued. She was good with animals, including whatever enormous rescue dog was sitting by her feet in the office. Linda had a green thumb and spent happy, creative hours in her garden. Always strikingly attractive, famous for her cascading hair, Linda was an early pioneer in natural foods, cooking and health trends, and maintained a strong, active body for over 8 decades.<\/p>\n
The daily presence of Linda will be deeply missed by the family she kept close. She is survived by three daughters, and two sons.<\/p>\n
