Obituary With great sorrow, we announce the peaceful passing of Gertrude Friedman on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Cherished wife and soulmate of the late Herbert Friedman. Beloved mother and mother-in-law of Andrea Friedman and David Smith, Mark Friedman, and Stuart Morrow and the late Randy Friedman. Proud Grandma of Alexandra, Evan, and Nicholas. Predeceased by her siblings, Beatrice (the late Arthur), Bernard (Pearl & the late Wanda), Seymour (the late Sharon). She will sadly be missed by her extended family and friends.

Trudy was a true trailblazer in the fields of education and mental health, young school teacher, early proponent of early childhood development, career psychologist, founder of Canadian National Organization of Widows, leader and operator of The Adler School Montreal, bereavement and family counselor, family life educator and mentor to many. She was a lady of grace, beauty and elegance. She treasured family and friends, enjoyed entertaining with Herb in Vermont and, of course, her yellow, purple and pink gardens.

The family expresses its sincere gratitude to Dr. Mark Roper, Kathleen Gale, Kitty Lee Cheung, and her at-home caregivers for their care and compassion. Special thanks to Diane Lawson, and Kathleen McCarty for their unconditional support. Graveside service on Monday, January 29 at 11:00 a.m. at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim Cemetery, Mt. Royal blvd. Shiva Private. Contributions in Gertrude's memory may be to the Montreal General Hospital Foundation Mental Health Programs (514) 934-8230 or Magen David Adom 514-731-4400.
