OBITUARY

Geritje "Trudy" Christmas

12 February, 1943 – 18 July, 2026
IN THE CARE OF

Cresmount Funeral Home - Fennell Chapel

Peacefully entered into rest after a long and courageous battle on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at St. Peter's Hospital – Maplewood in Hamilton, surrounded by the love of her family.

Beloved wife of Bruce for more than 62 wonderful years, Trudy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. She was the proud and devoted mother of Cindy (Rick) and Glen (Sandra) and is now reunited in Heaven with her treasured daughter, Andrea. Glenn remained close and was never far from Trudy's thoughts.

Cherished Nana of Jordan, Taylor, Lindsay, and Mackenzie, Trudy treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren. Loving sister of Peter (Donna), Rose, Henry, Tony, and Nick, and predeceased by her siblings Gerritt and Rita.

She will be lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.

Family was the centre of Trudy's life. She found her greatest joy in caring for those she loved, always putting others before herself. Kind, compassionate, and endlessly generous, she had a beautiful smile that could brighten any room and a warmth that made everyone feel welcome. Her love, strength, and gentle spirit will be remembered always.

In keeping with Trudy's wishes, cremation has taken place. A gathering to celebrate her beautiful life is being planned, with details to follow.

For those who wish, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be sincerely appreciated.

Fond memories, cherished photographs, and messages of condolence may be shared below.

"Her greatest gift was the love she gave her family, and the greatest tribute to her life is the love they will carry for her always."
