Trenkle, she created a life of love and adventure from early years on Filbert Street to Los Altos, Stockton, Saratoga, Millbrae, and Kona. She graduated from San Jose State University, raised three children, was a strong advocate of social justice, traveled the world, loved her multiple trips to Africa, and sailed from Tahiti to Hawaii on the 42 foot ketch “Pagurus.”

Strong in times of challenge, endlessly supportive, and always caring, she leaves a large, extended “ohana” who will miss her wonderfully determinedand-gentle spirit.
