Trudie Ann Ulrich

Trudie Ann Iverson Ulrich, 76, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away September 2, 2025, in Santaquin, Utah, after a brief battle with cancer.

Trudie Ann Iverson was born in sunny St. George, Utah, the 2nd of 5 children born to Grant Iverson & Ina Custer, on June 25, 1949. She spent her younger years in St. George, UT, Fort Lewis, WA and Henderson, NV until her family settled in Pleasant Grove, Utah at the age of 7.

Trudie enjoyed drawing, crafts and all kinds of art, she spent cherished time playing with her siblings and cousins. She graduated from Pleasant Grove High School with the class of 1967. Trudie then studied Commercial Art at Utah Technical College in Provo, UT.

Even as a child, all Trudie ever wanted was to grow up and be a mother. Her greatest joy in life was her children. They all felt an overabundance of love with all the time spent making meals from scratch, creating memorable activities, teaching life lessons, preparing home school instruction, stitching handmade outfits, personalizing birthday cakes and baking fresh wheat bread. Mom instilled us with a love for our Savior through her example of Christlike love. Motherhood was her greatest achievement and she excelled.

The family of Trudie Ulrich wishes to extend their sincere thanks to the nurses and caregivers who have loved and cared for mom the past weeks. We would also like to thank the countless acts of service, love and support from our “church family” in the Santaquin 6th Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We find comfort in the thought of Mom’s joyful reunion with her parents and her sister, Vickie Farr.

Trudie is survived by her husband, Jerry Ulrich and her daughters: Rachel Sanderson (Phillip), Sarah McCausland (Aaron), Leah Watkins (David) and Rebecca Ballard; 7 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren with 2 more on the way. She is also survived by her siblings; Ina Jane Harvey, Samuel Iverson and Rebecca Mayoh.
