About	Lisa Thorup Trudo, age 48, passed away in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday April 27, 2019 due to complications of kidney failure and Valley Fever. Daughter of Herman Christian Thorup and Grace Darlene Moldenhauer; Lisa graduated from San Luis Obispo High School in 1989, attended DeVry Institute of Technology in Phoenix, Arizona from 1989 to 1990 where she met her husband of 26 years, Steven Trudo, they were married in Phoenix, Arizona on March of 1993 and sealed for time and eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints 10 years later to the day. Lisa had 2 true callings in life, the first to be the mother of her 3 children and the other was Family History. She served as the Family History Director from 2016-2018, but has worked on her personal family history almost her whole life; on top of that, she would teach anyone who would listen how to find names they were searching for. She broke many barriers that were preventing work from being done for those who have passed before her, such as the Moldenhauer and Zevatkusky lines. She enjoyed being with her family, playing flute, playing volleyball, singing, collecting cards, thrift shopping especially when she would find anything related to Snoopy and his family. She was an avid Dodger fan until the diamondbacks came to Arizona then her loyalty changed. She cherished watching wildlife such as tigers, pandas, orcas, and dolphins. She enjoyed watching old-school television such shows as Adam-12, Perry Mason, MAS*H, and match game. But most of all she loved the Peanuts characters, especially Snoopy. She is preceded in death by her father, Herman; mother, Grace; and older sister Jayna McNeal (Thorup). She is survived by her husband Steven Trudo; her children: sons Tyler and Alix Trudo, daughter Katrina Trudo; her brothers: Terry (Irene) and Brooks (Jennifer); her sisters: Anne and Kerstin; her brother-in-law Gary McNeal; her father-in-law Robert Trudo (Adrienne); her sister-in-law Donna Satches (Randy); her niece Kara Satches(Dan); and her nephew Michael Satches (Jessica); her brother-in-law David Trudo (Jasmine). Services will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 4748 W. Orangewood Ave, in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday May 18th at 10:00 am with a viewing at 9:00 am and on Friday May 17th from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
