Trudy was born to James and Ella (Attaway) Mobley on July 1, 1931 in Terra Cotta, North Carolina.
She was a woman who loved Jesus and teaching people of all ages about him. Trudy took great pleasure in leading children to accept Jesus into their hearts as an established Sunday school teacher.
Trudy often collaborated her evangelistic calling with her favorite pastimes and hobbies, such as designing hats and clothes, assisting people with mental disabilities and influencing numerous young women as a Girl Scout leader.
Her love for education led her to obtain a degree in occupational therapy as well as a degree in speech pathology and audiology from State University of New York at Buffalo.
Most importantly, Trudy embraced, loved, and prayed for her family beyond measure.
She is preceded in death by her husband, J. B. Florence; her parents; her children, Perrine Dillard-Ford, Frederick McNeair, and Karen Belton; siblings, Darlyne Waddell, Barbara Jorden, and Richard Mobley.
