Gertrude "Trudy" Mallonee, age 102, passed away peacefully on January 5, 2023, at Willow Valley Communities in Lancaster, PA where she had resided for the past 24 years, moving there from Wilmington, DE after her husband of 52 years (James E. Mallonee) had died. Trudy had a brief career as a secretary and later was proud to become one of the few women realtors at the time. However, her passion was always her family. She was a Den Mother in Cub Scouts and a Brownie Leader in Girl Scouts, and an all around devoted mother to her two children, and a devoted grandmother to her five grandchildren. She was a charter member of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant where she and her husband were the first couple married there after the church was established. When she moved to Willow Valley, she became active in many activities including playing the ukulele, playing ping pong and playing bridge several times a week for many years. She played bridge up until Covid and was sad not to keep adding to her pile of quarters which she won regularly as the one with the highest score. Trudy had an unmatched zest for life. At age 82, she decided she wanted to see China and twisted the arms of two friends and off they went. At age 85, she got her birthday wish to go up in a hot air balloon. For her 100th birthday, her family gathered, and she laughed at the matching tee shirts that said "Trudy's 100th- The one bright spot of 2020!" She laughed just as hard about the fact that she had never known anyone to live as long as she had (so far). Trudy is survived by her son, Bill (Shiela) of Eugene, Oregon, her daughter, Ann of Falls Church, Virginia and her five grandchildren, John Mallonee (Jamie) of Glenwood Springs CO, Marianne Mallonee of Boulder, CO, Michael Gordon of Ashburn, VA, Scott Gordon of Falls Church, VA and Karen Gordon of Arlington, VA. She is also survived by one great grandchild, Charlie of Glenwood Springs, CO, and two nieces, Debbie Weferling of Houston, Texas, and Cheryl Weferling of Mineral, Virginia. A private burial of her ashes beside her husband will take place at a later date.
