I met Mrs. Trumbo when I worked at Dierbergs. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. I really enjoyed when she would come in and talk with me. I’m glad I had the pleasure of meeting her. My condolences to the family as I’m sure they will miss this sweet soul. Rest in Peace Mrs. Trumbo.
My sincere sympathy to the Trumbo family. May God grant you all peace as you mourn the loss of this sweet lady.
Mark and Debbie, i’m really sorry fot the loss of your mother.
What a sweet dear lady! So blessed to meet her and visit her on occasion when my son married her granddaughter Erin. She was always such a delight and made me smile! And now I know she is tickled to be in the arms of Jesus!
