Trina was an avid gar- dener and loved being outdoors digging in the dirt, planting and enjoy- ing the fruit of her labor. Just days be- fore her death she was talking about how she needed to be out in her gar- den getting it ready instead of sitting around being sick. Trina loved musi- cals and old movies, which she shared with her chil- dren and anyone who was interested. She was an art- ist and seamstress, sewing shirts for Conrad, sewing wedding dresses and daily clothing, baby blankets, etc. Trina was a wonderful cook and often gave cred- it to her beloved mother- in-law, Lois Eckley, for teaching her. She loved camping and being in the woods, another love she shared with her family. In the last few years Trina and Conrad made many trips in their trailer to the moun- tains and beach, making the most of their time to- gether and enjoying each other’s company. Trina will be remem- bered as a beloved daugh- ter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Through her illness Trina maintained her faith in God and believed that while God may not heal her now, he will heal her someday when she sees him face to face and he calls her name. A memorial service will be held at the Hermiston SDA Church on Saturday, April 23rd, at 4:00 p.m. All who loved Trina are welcome to attend.
