It was on Friday, April 6, 1948, in Highland, Illinois, that she was born. Her parents, LaRue Neudecker and Martha (née Ainscough) Neudecker, were her parents. She tied the knot with Wayne A.

Evangelical United Church of Christ, Evangelical United Church of Christ Bell Choir, Sunday School Teacher, Troy Community Band, and Treasurer at St. Jacob Livestock Barn were some of the organizations that she was a part of.
It was in the Marine and Highland region that Trudy spent her childhood. She was born in Highland, Illinois. 1966 was the year that she graduated from Highland High School.
She received an Associate of Arts degree in Accounting from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. First National Bank in Highland, Illinois was her place of employment.
First, she stayed at home to take care of their children, and then she went to work at WeeCare Childcare as a teaching assistant. She began her life as a farmer’s wife, assisting her husband with the cattle, hogs, and grain. She has been a member of the Troy Community Band since its establishment, and she played the flute for the entire time.
Her final concert was on December 4, 2023, making her the longest-serving member of the band. Her passion for preparing homemade jelly was matched only by her talent as a baker. She had a deep love for her family. The phrase “spoiling the grandchildren rotten” was one of her favorite things to do.
