Trudy Dry
Trudy Dry, 99, of Beaumont, died Friday, September 2, 2022, at Harbor Hospice, Beaumont.
Trudy was born in May of 1923 to parents Elizabeth and Lewis, and raised in the small mining town of Trojan, South Dakota. She enjoyed roaming the Black Hills of South Dakota along with her brother Robert, and sister Thelma Marjorie, both who preceded her in death.
She graduated from Lead High School at age 18, married her high school sweetheart, Carlton (Cottie) Dry in 1942 and worked as a secretary until the beginning of WW11. They lived in Casper after the war years and began to raise their family of 5 children: Diane, Ronald, Randle, Gary, and Nancy. After 21 years in Casper, the family relocated to Beaumont, Texas when Cottie was transferred to the Mobil Refinery. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband in the late 1970s, after which she stood strong and proudly raised her family of 5 children, 9 grandchildren, and eventually helped raise 10 great-grandchildren.
Trudy always took great pride in being a good wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Her greatest goal in life was to be here for her family, whenever they needed her. Her greatest joy in life was to watch her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren play.
She loved birthdays and holidays, baking her traditional Pasties for big family gatherings, small teddy bears, dolls, country music, playing the old-fashioned slot machines, a big piece of pie, and a good cup of coffee, along with a million other things that made her happy.
Her family would like her to be remembered as someone who always put everyone else’s needs before her own, wished for only the best for her loved ones and her friends, welcomed strangers to her table, and truly was the grandest of mothers.
Mrs. Dry’s funeral service will be 10:00 a.m., Thursday, September 8, 2022, at Broussard’s, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. Her interment will be at Highland Cemetery, Casper, Wyoming.
