Roger Louis Tredway

He was born March 24, 1945 in Evansville, Indiana, USA and attended Wiley High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. After a brief stint in the United States Air Force, he was honorably discharged due to a medical condition.

Roger moved to Florida where he met and married Geraldine (Gerri) Tredway in Hollywood, Florida in April 1972.

Roger earned a BS degree from Nova University in Davie, Florida, and then a master’s degree in Pastoral Ministry from Biscayne College (now St. Thomas University), graduating in 1982. Soon after he received his state certificate as a “Licensed Mental Health Counselor”.

After retirement in December 2002, the couple moved to Chapala, Mexico and became active at Lakeside Little Theater where Roger directed four plays. Roger also took up quilting with his wife and they joined the Ajijic Quilt Guild where they made many quilts which were donated to nearby orphanages.

Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Russell Tredway and Marianna Russell Tredway and also by his brothers, Lawrence (Larry) Tredway and John Tredway.

Roger’s inclusive nature and his many acts of kindness which were always shared with his fun sense of humor will long be cherished by those whose lives he touched.

Roger is survived by his wife of 50 years, Gerri Tredway and by his niece, Katherine Macika of St. Louis, Missouri; by many of Gerri’s nieces and nephews that he considered his own and by the many children that they fostered.
