Trudy Poe
By Bob DeLoyd 012/09/2006
Our little Community is sad to hear that long time resident Trudy Poe has passed on. Trudy was there at the founding of our community center, was a longtime member of the board of directors. She put forth much effort and contributed a great deal to help make what Copper Mountain Mesa is today.
I talked to Ruth Tuttle, who went to Trudy's services, she said that there was a really big turnout, everyone got up to share memories of Trudy, and there were lots of Grandkids sitting quietly listening.
Trudy and her late husband Lenny came here back in the sixties, built their home and razed a family. Lenny helped in the planning and design of the community center. Trudy was a Bible Teacher and taught out of their home.
        Ruth told me of a time two years ago when she and Trudy had fun making "Black Widow Eggs", which are hard boiled eggs sliced in half, an olive cut to make four legs, with a piece of red pimento in the center. I said to Ruth that spiders have eight legs and she said "Silly Bob, it was only a decoration".
I didn't see Trudy at our General Meeting this November, she never misses a meeting, and now I know why she wasn't there. God Bless you Trudy Poe!
