  1. 1.  Gertrude Louise HardingGertrude Louise Harding was born on 2 Oct 1921 in Lyme, Connecticut, USA (daughter of Ray LaPlace Harding and Helen Jewett); died on 31 Mar 2013 in Lyme, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Pleasant View Cemetery, Lyme, New London County, Connecticut, United States.

    Notes:

    Gertrude Harding Emerson, of Lyme, died on March 31, 2013, at her home.
    She was born on October 2, 1921, in Lyme, the daughter of Ray L. Harding and Helen Jewett Harding.
    Trudy was a member of the First Congregational Church of Lyme for over 50 years. She was a self-described farmer, gardener, naturalist, and rowing enthusiast. She was a farm girl in Lyme who harvested ice on Rogers Lake, salt hay on Calves Island and drove livestock to fairs in Norwich. She drove tractors on the family farm when she couldn't reach the pedals and see at the same time. She could pick up baby deer and hand it over the stone wall to its mother. She often said she liked animals better than people and perhaps she meant it sometimes, but she was kind, considerate, generous and loyal to all of her family and many friends. She lived and let live and there was never an unkind word. She was a link to a bygone era that Lyme and the rest of us will never know again.
    She is survived by her sister, Dafney Harding Dahlke, her husband Gerald O. Dahlke, and their children and spouses, Glenn Charles and Carol Adams Dahlke, Diane Dahlke and Dale J. Denno, Thomas Ray and Cynthia McKenzie Dalke and her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers, James Ely Harding and Charles Jewett Harding. She was predeceased by her husband Fred L. Emerson, Jr. and survived by her stepchildren James Durward Emerson, Robin Eric Edward Emerson and Annabelle Emerson Brown, their spouses and children.
    Special thanks must be given to Irene Corsino who made it possible with attentive and loving care for Trudy to remain at home until her death. With a dedicated staff, especially Sheila Bard, she made Trudy's wish come true.
    A graveside service will be held Saturday, April 6, 2013, at 10am at Pleasant View Cemetery in Lyme. There are no calling hours. Memorial donations in her memory may be made to the charity of the donor's choice.
