Trilby received a B.A. in Art from University of North Carolina Greensboro, a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Central Florida and a Masters in Theology. Her professional career included working for the Planning Research Corporation (PRC) and for The Boeing Company – Space Systems Division on the Space Shuttle Program. Trilby also designed and made all the stained-glass windows at The Church of Our Saviour located in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Trilby’s husband, Lewis J. Wallace Jr., passed November 20, 2013. Trilby’s brothers, Walter Boerner and Robert Boerner, have also preceded her in death. Trilby is survived by her sister, B. Barbara Boerner from Brevard, NC, and her five children: John Wallace (Denise) from Port St. John, Florida, Barbara Pedone (Chris) from Merritt Island, Florida, Mark Wallace (Judi) from Melbourne, Florida, Jennifer Matiscik (Jeff) from Orlando, Florida and Richard Wallace (Melissa) from Melbourne, Florida. She is also survived by 13 grandchildren. We would like to thank The Magnolia House staff for all the loving care they gave Trilby during her short stay with them.
There are so many ways to describe the person Trilby was. The following words just scratch the surface: intelligent, compassionate, immensely talented, strong, patient, kind and empathetic. She touched many lives in more ways than any of us can count. She touched many hearts in her own special way and she will be truly missed.
The Celebration of Life is scheduled for Saturday, February 23, 2019 at 12:30pm at the Church of Our Saviour located at 5301 N. Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931. A reception will immediately follow the service.
