MILFORD – Gertrude “Trudy” Lord, 77, an accomplished ceramist who operated studios here and in Oneonta, passed away peacefully at The Centers Nursing Home on Sunday March 3, 2019, after a four-year courageous battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

In her later years, she worked at the front desk at The Otesaga, then at Milford central School until her retirement. She was also a past member of the Milford American Legion Auxiliary.

Trudy is survived by her husband of 57 years, Patrick; children Elizabeth (Kenneth) Miller, Patricia (Scott), Deanie (Justin), and David (Alexis); grandchildren Zachary, Eliana, Jasmine, and Isabella. She is also survived by brothers Sam and Bill Mott, and many nieces and nephews.
