Born March 8, 1927, in West Liberty, Kentucky, to Clarence and Eulah (Caskey) Dyer, Trudy touched the lives of all who knew her. She moved to the Dayton area in the 1940’s and she worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Univis Lens Co., and supported a variety of worthy causes. She settled in Enon with the love of her life, Ken, whom she married June 21, 1952, and together they shared 33 wonderful years raising a special, loving family. Her devotion towards her family knew no bounds. Trudy was a loving wife, Mom and Grandma, a great friend, a bright spirit, and a genuine soul showing care and compassion to those around her and to those in need.
