    Celebrating the life of

    Una Truesdale

    08 Dec 1920 - 23 Nov 2022

    Family and friends

    Una was born in 1920 and was 8yo during the Great Depression and 19yo when WWII started. Una has seen Queen Elizabeth crowned, Mt Everest conquered, the use of Penicillin, the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall and watched the first man walk on the moon. Yet out of all that Una's greatest joys in life were her two sons and their families.
