Trudy Fraser, 34 Big Rapids
Our Trudy went to Heaven on All Saints Day, November 1, 2019. There is a new Angel around the Throne now. She was born in Big Rapids as the youngest of her siblings. Her determination and spirit led her to many years past her life expectancy following an accident. She has lived at home with her family with the help of many wonderful caregivers. Angels from many walks of life have kept her well and engaged in the life of our community.She is survived by her parents, Patti and Jack Fraser, her sister Laurie (Douglas) Boyd, her brother Douglas Fraser, her sister Polly (Michael) Carlson, her niece and nephew Maggie and Duncan Boyd. She is also survived by seven aunts, seven uncles and numerous cousins. Trudy was preceded into Heavenby her four grandparents and Uncle Paul who were there to greet her with open arms.She went into Gods arms as an Angel who enjoyed music, ABCs, 123s, and shopping, "Her" wheelchair swing at Hemlock Park, and her good friend Winnie the Pooh. She taught all those who met her about what is important in life.Please, instead of traditional mourning colors, Trudys family asks you to wear festive colors to celebrate her life. If you need any help picking something out, her favorite color was purple.A Mass of the Resurrection to celebrate Trudys life will take place 11:00 a.m. Saturday, November 9, 2019 at St. Paul Campus Parish (1 Damascus Road) in Big Rapids with Father Tom Page and her cousin, Father Paul Graney concelebrating. The family will greet friends from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Friday, November 8th at ST. PAUL CAMPUS PARISH and one hour prior to Mass at the Church on Saturday. Trudy will be laid to rest at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Big Rapids.
