Born December 30, 1943, in Woodbury, New Jersey, Trudy was the daughter of the late William and Gertrude Kessler. She was the devoted wife of the late Dr. John William “Doc” Greene, with whom she shared thirty-six years of marriage. Her soulmate preceded her in passing less than two months earlier.
