The woman who sold me my house in 1991 passed away

The cats have been acting strange so I thought maybe the previous owner, Elizabeth Poshek, was "visiting" again.  I searched the internet for Elizabeth's obituary but was not able to find it.  I did find her sister's, Gertrude, who sold me my house in 1991.

She passed away just the past May!  She was 101 years old.  I think her mass was at Rose's church!  She is buried in the cemetery down the street.


Gertrude Poshek
Age 101, of Los Angeles, CA Died May 27, 2010 At Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, CA. Gertrude, also known as Trudy, was born in Silver Lake, MN. She spent several years in the Mpls. area including working as a private secretary to Sears executives. She and a friend owned and operated PO's Restaurant on Lake St. in the early 1940s. Later, she moved to Los Angeles continuing her career as a private secretary and executive assistant in the aircraft industry. Trudy enjoyed traveling and visited many foreign countries. She also liked to sew and crochet and did much reading. She was one of 11 children, with one surviving sister, Eleanore Ashman, of Hemet, CA. Trudy was greatly admired and loved by many nieces, nephews and other family members and friends. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a perfect sense of timing in telling her many jokes and stories.
