Early in the morning of Friday, March 4, 2022, Trudy left this earth behind to go to Heaven, having recently celebrated her 86th birthday. She was born February 27, 1936, in Salem, Utah, to Perry Vernal Jackman and Beulah May Sheen Jackman. She spent her growing up years in Salem.
On October 5, 1951, she married William Dan Hunter in Lake Shore, Utah; later sealed January 29, 1964, in the Manti Temple. Together they had five children, bringing them up in Salem, Utah. While being a wife and mother was her priority, she worked various other jobs outside her home over the years. She worked for a time at Mountain View Café; and at Fritzi of Utah as a seamstress, becoming a supervisor there.
Trudy enjoyed boating, fishing, and camping. She and her family loved spending time at Strawberry Reservoir, where they owned a cabin. Later, they owned a cabin at Schofield, and enjoyed time there. Trudy also loved birds and flowers, and if those two things were in the same place, all the better.
She is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Trudy loved to sing. She was the chorister in the choir which she also sang with.
Trudy is survived by her children: Vickie Jean (Lester) Jepperson of El Mirage, Arizona; Becky Joy (Gary) Long of Springville, Utah; Marsha Ann (Kevin Hatfield) Bartlett of Salem, Utah; and Steven Brent (Diane) Hunter of Payson, Utah.
