TRUDY ROBERTS

Trudy D. Roberts died March 27, 2026, at Lewis County Nursing Home in Canton, Missouri, surrounded by loved ones.
Trudy was born April 10, 1942 to John Miller and Irene (Brown) Miller. She was united in marriage to Ivan (Punky) Roberts on February 4, 1967. They lived happily together for 50 years, in Ewing, Missouri, until Ivan preceded her in death on March 11, 2018. She was also preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws, John and Ethel Roberts, and a granddaughter, Autumn Dodds.
Trudy and Punky founded Roberts Garage and Towing, Inc. in 1970. Trudy completed payroll, accounts receivable, ran parts, and whatever else was needed for the business, while raising three children. Trudy was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, but her favorite of these roles was that of Grandma. She spent years feeding several of her grandsons breakfast before school and then enjoyed playing Uno with them after. Even the grand-dogs loved going to Grandma’s house, where they were fed eggs, fried Spam, and bacon. Not one of her children or grandchildren ever left her home without her making sure that she said, “be careful on the roads, and I love you.” Trudy was a member of The Assembly of God Church in Ewing, Missouri. She will be terribly missed by everyone that knew her, but comfort comes from knowing that she is at peace with her Lord and Savior.
Trudy is survived by her three children: Angela, Troy (Christel) Roberts of Ewing, Missouri, and Shelley (Myron), and an honorary son, Travis (Tressa) Dodds of Ewing, Missouri. Grandchildren: Jerrod (Brittany) Dodds, Jacob (Kaitlyn) Dodds, Johnnie (Ruthie) Goings, Danny (Lacey) Goings, Aiden Roberts, Oliver Roberts, Isaac Roberts and Margaret Roberts. Great-Grandchildren: Brylee, Jaxon, and Kendrick Dodds, Emmett and Harvey Dodds. Brother, Johnny (Connie) Miller, many nieces and nephews, and best friends, John and Joyce Logan and Yvonne Stumb.
