Gertrude married the late Michael Romanchuk on February 10, 1940 and they spent the next 69 wonderful years together.
Four days after marrying, Michael was deployed to the China Burma India Theatre and returned safely 4 years later. Never a day passed that Mom did not write to Dad in hopes of boosting his spirit.

Gertrude is survived by daughter, Susan Tew, grandsons, Christopher Konn, and John Vitalone, and granddaughter Donna Marie Vitalone. She has 2 surviving cousins, Mary Ann Raider, and "Duke" Weier. She is also survived by lifelong friends, JoAnn Lee, and Cori Oakley.
