Obituary

Trudy  Deloris  Foss,  72,  of  Silverton,  Oregon  spent  her  final  days  at  home  surrounded  by  her  family  and  loved  ones.  Trudy  was  born  in  McMinnville,  Oregon  on March 6, 1949 to parents Archie Faris and Kathleen (Kolaroff )  Bowers.  Trudy  died  on  Feb.  26,  2022.  Her  passing was very peaceful as she had full confidence in her salvation through Jesus Christ.The  Faris  family  later  moved  from  McMinnville  to  Central  Oregon  where  Trudy  graduated  in  1967  from  Sisters High School as Valedictorian. After high school she  married  Mike  Carroll.  They  moved  to  Crescent  City, California where she enjoyed being a homemaker and raising their children, Kimberly Dawn Carroll and Christopher Lee Carroll. Trudy later married Michael Holiman where she continued as a loving mother as they added two children, Bryan Scott Holiman and Tyra Lynn (Holiman) Huckins. As the children grew older she found more free time and enjoyed finding work outside the home. She first worked at the local radio station, KCRE. The family then moved to Coquille, Oregon where she spent years  with  the  Coos  County  Parks  Department  and  greatly  enjoyed  her  work.  Trudy  along  with her children helped design the County Parks logo which also became the logo for Coos County  and  is  still  used  today  and  is  on  road  signs  welcoming  visitors  into  Coos  County.  Always inspiring, Trudy returned to college and earned her degree and became a Registered Nurse.  She  greatly  loved  caring  for  and  giving  compassionate  care  to  others.  She  worked  in  many nursing positions but her favorite was as a hospice nurse, providing comfort and care for those at the end of life.  Later  in  life,  Trudy's  journey  led  her  to  a  nursing  position  in  Burns,  Oregon  where  she  met  and married Bradley Weldon Foss who she spent 25 years with. Brad's children, Robert Foss, Brandon Foss and Nikki Hess, joined the family. Trudy and Brad spent many years traveling for work and fun. They traveled all over the US while Brad worked as a directional driller for communications companies. Eventually they landed in Keno, Oregon where Trudy loved living among the large pine trees similar to her childhood in Central Oregon. Later they moved to Silverton,  Oregon  where  they  truly  found  their  home  and  made  many,  many  life  long  and  eternally lasting friendships.Trudy  had  many  hobbies  through  the  years  from  horses  (she  loved  trail  riding),  gardening,  remodeling  homes  and  collecting  rocks.  Anyone  that  has  helped  Trudy  move  over  the  years  can attest to the buckets of rocks she enjoyed collecting. Trudy enjoyed being a go-getter and loved to jump in and help whenever and wherever she could. Trudy was always a loving mother tending to her children's needs. She studied God's word and spent many hours in prayer. She took great pleasure in being a light in this world. She did this in many ways, however the spirit led her, but most recently she took great pleasure in passing out to anyone, and everyone, a small card with scripture on it as an encouragement. Trudy was always prepared to share the Gospel, the Good News of Salvation.  With great sadness, Brad passed in November 2021. Just a few short months later Trudy was diagnosed  with  cancer  that  was  widespread.  From  diagnosis  to  her  entrance  into  Heaven  was a quick 13 days. While she had pain, Jesus spared her from great suffering and it was with great anticipation and joy she entered into her eternal reward. As her days came to an end, she pictured herself running into Jesus' arms and that is exactly what she did, she ran and leaped into the loving and waiting arms of the One True Savior, Jesus Christ. Her parents, Archie Faris and Kathleen (Kolaroff ) Bowers, preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death were brothers Sage Faris and Richard Bowers; and her loving husband, Bradley Weldon Foss.Trudy is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Dawn Carroll; son, Christopher Lee Carroll and his wife, Kristy; son, Bryan Scott Holiman and his wife, Elizabeth; daughter, Tyra Lynn Huckins and her  husband,  Scott;  sisters,  Ginger  DeMaris,  Leta  Faris,  Lillian  Collins,  Patty  Emerson  and  her  husband Bob, Bobbi Page and her husband Charlie; and her brother, Joe Faris and his wife, Lisa.Also  surviving  Trudy  are  her  many  grandchildren,  Andrew  Carroll,  DJ  Sams,  Austin  Carroll,  Kayla Lanier, Celia Green, Elijah Holiman, Wyatt Sanders, Levi Sanders and Kylee Sanders as well as numerous step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.   A  gathering  in  memory  of  Trudy  will  be  held  on  Saturday,  March  26,  1  p.m.  at  Silver  Creek  Fellowship, 822 Industry Way NE, Silverton, Oregon. All are welcome to attend.
