TRUDE LINDEN May 24, 1934 August 17, 2017 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Trude Linden at Goodwin Lodge, in Teulon, on Thursday, August 17, 2017, at the age of 83 years. Trude is survived by her husband David Coupland, of Teulon; her daughter Michele (Patrick), in Arizona; son Mark (Jan), in Winnipeg; four grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and one stepgreat-grandson. She is also survived by two sisters and one sister-in-law in The Netherlands. Trude immigrated to Canada from Holland in 1956 and spent time living in various places in Quebec and Alberta before moving to Winnipeg. In 1973 she met David, the love of her life and the two were never apart after that, best friends forever and partners in marriage. Trude enjoyed ballroom dancing with David, spinning, weaving and a short stint of parachuting. She managed to crack a vertebra on her third jump, which ended her skydiving activities. She graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and went on to earn her Registered Nurse Diploma from Red River Community College. After working as an R.N. for several years, she retired to her home near Teulon and spent her retirement reading and listening to classical music. In 2013 Trude was diagnosed with dementia which eventually caused her to be placed in Goodwin Lodge, as her husband was no longer able to care for her at their home. She contributed to many charities but her favourite was the Winnipeg Humane Society. It was her request that no funeral service or memorial service be held. A private burial will take place at a later date. MacKenzie Funeral Home Teulon 204-467-2525 info@mackenziefh.com

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • I was her little sister, from Holland. She left Holland when I was 7 years old, she was twice times in Holland, to see the family. In 1990, I was in Teulon, with my mam, to visit here, also again in 1992. Because our last name is diffcult to speak out in English, she took the name of our grandparents, of mams side, van der linden, so she made it in: Linden. My sister Anne and I, are missing here, after one year. She was a very nice person. - Posted by: Joke van Klaveren-Meijer (Sister (the youngest one)) on: Mar 31, 2020
