Gertrude loved the beauty of nature as an avid gardener and bird enthusiast. In her early years, she participated in many sports. In later years, she enjoyed playing cards and games with her family.

Her cookies were beyond compare and she was meticulous when it came to her sand tarts. She also was known for her canned peaches, filled noodles and homemade French fries. Gertrude was a 1941 graduate of Manheim Central. She was employed by J.L. Clark as a packer, until her retirement. She was a devout Christian and an original member of Grace Baptist Church of Millersville. She was honest and sincere and lived by the Golden Rule.

She loved to make her family happy and always put others first. Her family will forever miss her wit, her kind heart, and her ability to see the good in everyone.
