From the Obituary in the Delta Wind, January 8, 2009, page 3:
Trudy Buck lost her battle with lung cancer on December 21 at the age of 87 in Fairbanks. She was born on August 29, 1921, to Joseph and Pauline Kortash in Pennsylvania.
She married Donald M. Buck at Manley Hot Springs in 1951. They lived in Nome, Fort Yukon, and Fairbanks before making their home in Delta Junction, where they resided for over 50 years. While living in Delta, Trudy participated in raising funds for local politicians as well as breast cancer. She was a member of the Delta Pioneers. Trudy will be remembered for her quick wit and her independence, but most of all for her special love of animals. She will be missed by all.
Trudy was preceded in death by her husband, Donald M. Buck; a son, Marc D. J. Buck; sisters Helen Baladenskas, Dorothy Britti, and brothers, Joseph and Michael Kortashi. She is survived by her sister Katherine and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
