KINZLER, Trudy - There is no question at the age of 94, Trudy Kinzler lived a full life and touched many lives along the way. Having lived through economic depression, WWII and a move across the ocean to a new home in Canada, she saw and experienced things most today can only imagine or glean from history books. Those experiences and the ups and downs that followed made her open to change and left her with some pretty amazing stories. “I am old now and can say anything I want,” she used to joke — and she rarely held back. Working as a nurse both in Europe and after arriving in Canada, caring for others defined her. She saw people for who they were and possessed an unmatched capacity for compassion and love. Trudy’s kindness and genuine caring disposition was nothing short of inspiring in the face of difficulties which would have easily jaded most. An avid reader, painter and gardener, she was a lover of all living things. Her transparent good nature and dedication to family will remain a guiding light to all she touched during her remarkable journey. Predeceased by husband Oscar and brothers, Helmut and Raymond, Trudy is survived by her daughter Evie, grandchildren Graeme and Evann, brothers Gunter and Rudy Scherenzel and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, caretakers and friends. Visitation will be held from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, February 23rd at the Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home at 157 Main Street South in Newmarket. Funeral services will be held at the same location at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 24th. A brief reception will follow the service.
