Trudy A Gollmer

Trudy A. Gollmer (nee Lichniak), 74 of Middleburg Hts., passed away two weeks following a fall in Canton, Ohio. She was a former, long-time employee at Blonder Home Accents, where she met her husband John. They have been married for 38 years. Trudy also enjoyed not only working at the MGM Casino, but visiting and donating to many casinos. Trudy was a proud member of various Masonic-related groups for ladies, specifically the Order of the Eastern Star, the Order of the Amaranth, and the Daughters of Mokanna. She was well loved by all the members of these organizations, and will be remembered by them for her sense of humor. Trudy’s heart is now healed, as she is reunited with her two sons, David and Scott Janke.

Trudy is survived by her loving husband, John; daughter, Angela Stover; grandchildren, Madelyn Kirkpatrick, Noah, Spencer, Caroline, and Isabella Janke; great grandson, Silas; brother, James (Connie) Lichniak; sister, Janet Leonard; and nephews, Jason and Jared Lichniak and niece, Tamara Leonard. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Jeanette Lichniak; and her sons, David Janke, Jr., and Scott Janke.

The family will receive friends at the Busch Funeral Home, 7501 Ridge Rd., Parma on Thursday, November 20 from 4:00 - 8:00 pm, with services beginning at 7:00 pm from the Order of the Eastern Star, Amaranth, and Daughters of Mokanna. A funeral service will be held at the funeral home on Friday at 11:00 am, followed by interment at Sunset Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to Shriners Hospitals for Children in memory of David Janke.
