Mary "Trudy" Roberts

March 17, 1931 - January 16, 2022

Born: St Patrick's Day, March 17, 1931, Evergreen, Mississippi to Hosea Witt and Mary Guilentine Witt. Passed Away: January 16, 2022 in Dallas, Texas. Last words to Rex and Michael: " I'm ready to go home, I want to be with Jesus". Husband: Rex Roberts, Dallas, Texas. Son: Michael Crowe, Franklin, Tennessee. "Adopted" Daughters: The wonderful " EMT"s: Elizabeth Lawlor, Molly LeSueur and Teresa Anderson. "Adopted" Grandchildren: Ellery, Devin and Meriel LeSueur. Witt Family: Trudy was one of ten children and is survived by only one: Faye Moreland, Tupelo, Mississippi. Trudy and Rex met 47 years ago and have never been apart since. Trudy owned an Italian resturant in Lakewood, and Rex loved Italian food and Trudy's martinis. What more need to be said? Trudy was a gourmet cook (Michael says" best cookies in the world), and she loved to have dinner parties at home. She loved music and was the number one fan of the Light Crust Doughboys and the T-Byrd Gordon Band. The Doughboys especially loved to rehearse at the Robert's - they knew it meant a fantastic meal, fun and a great productive rehearsal. Trudy loved the outdoors-fishing for big catfish, gardening, and camping. She loved animals, especially her dogs. No one will ever forget mama Basset Chopper, and certainly not forget little Yorkie JazzyBelle. Trudy, a generous and kind spirit, was loved by all. Her faith was unshakable, even to the end. She loved the Lord and her family with all her heart and mind. When times were tough for her and Michael she would reassure her son, always saying, " The good Lord will get us through." She was truly a Christ-like person. Trudy was one of a kind-loving mother, wife and friend. One of the good ones, who will truly be missed.
