Gender Female Death 1 Jun 2018 Vallejo, Solano, CA - 1928 - 2018 It is with great sadness that the family of Ruby Arlene Trolinder announces her sudden and unexpected passing on Friday, June 1. Mom (grandma, gigi, momma Ruby) was two weeks shy of 90 years young. She was born June 15, 1928 in Florence, KS. A long time Vallejo resident of 81 years, she loved the City she came to in 1937. Mom passed away peacefully in her beloved family home of 65 years. She was active in the community throughout her younger life and in retirement enjoyed the Vallejo Senior Center. She was a multi-talented woman having worked as an LVN at Kaiser, a baker for Vallejo Schools and an owner/operator of Thomson's Meat Market for over 25 years; as well as, being a homemaker and raising six children. Mom enjoyed spending time with her eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. She also spent many happy hours with her Senior Center knitting buddies. She was an avid knitter and prided herself in providing countless warm winter scarves for the homeless each year. She won several awards at the County Fair for her knitting prowess. In 1957 she was baptized into the First Baptist Church in Vallejo, where she led youth groups and Sunday School. Mom loved traveling with the family, even in her advanced years. She had just returned home from one outing and was anxious for our next adventure. Mom adored her four legged kids too! Ruby is survived by five of her six children, Marge Trolinder, Fairfield, Butch Trolinder, Vallejo, Jerry (Cheryl) LaFortune, Vacaville, Patricia (Gerry) Nunez, Vallejo, and Todd (Donna) Trolinder, Vacaville. She also leaves behind her youngest brother, Tom Newton, Suquamish, WA; her beautiful grandchildren, Nicole and April Moczygemba, Heather, Cynthia and Melissa Riggall, Katrina Nunez, Ashah Jimenez, and Mason Trolinder, will miss her eternally; as will her great grandchildren, Veronica, Alycia, Angelina, Hector, Pablo, Samaya and Parker. She was preceded in death by her adoring husband of 52 years, Levert, and their daughter, Susan LaFortune. To honor her life and memory there will be a celebration of life gathering later this summer. If interested in attending please contact: marge.trolinder@gmail.com or call the family home. Arrangements entrusted to the direction and care of Skyview Memorial Lawn, 707-644-7474.
