• Notes

  Elizabeth TRUSSLER Obituary Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Elizabeth (Betty) Trussler passed away peacefully early Sunday morning on January 29, 2023, at University Gates LTC in Waterloo. Betty was born in Milverton, Ontario on November 22, 1923. The third child of Noah and Hilda Wagler, Betty along with her brothers, James and Robert and sister, June spent many enjoyable summers with their Amish relatives in Wellesley. As a young woman, Betty worked as a stenographer for Canada Cabinets. In 1947, she married her husband, Doug and raised their family in Waterloo. After the children grew up, she worked in food services at the University of Waterloo until her retirement in 1988. Betty and Doug celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in 2022. Betty lived her life in humble service to God, her family, to nature and the needs and causes of others. She was a kind woman who was generous with her time and her financial support of those that needed help. She loved to listen to music, and we cherish that she sang lullabies to all our babies. Her family was spoiled with her delicious meals that often-included new recipes she found to try and delicious desserts. She enjoyed reading books including her treasured bible and took a keen interest in lively conversations with family. Left to cherish her memory and hold her in their hearts are her children, June Sage, Scott (Karen), Dianne (Brent Heard), grandchildren, Aaron deBoer (Raquel), Adam deBoer, Allison Sage (Armando), Lia Privat (Trent), Joel (Karen) and Sam (Brittany), and great grandchildren, Logan, Ethan, Claire, Emma, Hayden, and Ivy. Betty was predeceased by her husband, Doug, her parents, Noah and Hilda Wagler, brothers, James and Robert and her sister, June Weseloh. Our appreciation goes to the caring staff of University Gates - Pollock unit and at Trinity Village Retirement Studios. As expressions of sympathy donations may be made to the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) - Ontario or the Waterloo Region Food Bank by contacting Memory Gardens at 519-904-0400 or by the website listed below.A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date at Memory Gardens. The family wants to share a poem that Betty often recited to us by heart. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce Kilmer www.memorycemetery.ca Published by Waterloo Region Record on Feb. 6, 2023.
