The majority of her working career was in telecommunications; “Ma Bell”, US West, Qwest.
She loved the Oregon coast, Maui, camping, birding, reading, and telling mesmerizing stories. She definitely had the gift of gab.
Trudy had a sense of community and was a volunteer with the Feral Cat Coalition, supporter of the American Red Cross and Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Trudy is survived by her lifetime partner of 37 years, Freda Bratcher; siblings Ronald Kay and wife Lynne; Carolyn Kay and husband Gary Richert (all of Portland OR); Janet McQueen and husband Dan (Ketchikan AK); nephew Dustin Kay (CA); niece Jessica Walker (WA).
Trudy was talented, artistic, and fun, with a natural-giving spirit. Her compassion inspired and endeared her to all who knew her. She is greatly missed and her loving spirit will live in our hearts forever.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.skylinememorialgardens.com for the Kay family.
