I remember Aunt Tudy mostly from when I was a kid. She lived in Washington, DC, worked at the Pentagon and traveled all over the world when I was a kid and I thought that was pretty cool. When she was home visiting Wichita she would come to dinner at my parents house and she was always bubbly and smiling and she told the best stories about her job and her travels. But I think the thing that stands out to me was that my mom Carolyn and Aunt Tudy grew up together on Vine Street and were best friends for 81 years. Tudy lived a full and wonderful life and will be missed.
