Trevelyn leaves seven grandchildren and five-great grandchildren.
Trev was an avid bridge player competing in tournaments around the country. She volunteered for Multiple Sclerosis Society for several years, but most of all she loved being around her kids and grandchildren. Up until a couple of years ago, you could find her most Fridays at the Knights of Columbus Fish Fry.
She raised their five children in different parts of the country as Paul was transferred and deployed during his twenty-year time in the Army. They spent time in Ft Knox, KY, Ft Jackson, SC, multiple residences in Waupaca and eventually in Peoria, IL in 1963.
The family would like to thank all of Trev's caregivers at Buehler Home for the excellent care she received while living there for over two years.
Cremation has been accorded and no services will be held. Contributions in her honor can be made to the Alzheimer's Association. Burial of the ashes will take place at a later time in Wisconsin with the family.
