Frances Trusow, 88, of Bethlehem, formerly of St. Clair, died Monday November 9, 2020, at Old Orchard Healthcare, Easton PA.
Born in Pottsville, October 14, 1932, She was a daughter of the late Steve and Anna (Smith) Trusow.
She worked as as a Seamstress for several area factories and was a member of the ILGWU.
Frances was a member of St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church, St. Clair.
Frances enjoyed being involved in activities at Lutheran Manor such as bus trips, holiday parties and church. She was a critical part of a small team that put together a petition to get a crosswalk added in front of Lutheran Manor for safer walking conditions for residents. Everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her knew she was a character. Francy was the social butterfly of Lutheran Manor, always stopping to tell a story, share a riddle or just to chat. Her favorite pastimes were reading the newspaper, watching QVC and talking on the phone. She was known to keep you on the phone for hours but would promptly end the call before 7pm to be able to catch The Daily Number. She also liked to spend her time cheering on the Eagles and the Phillies. She enjoyed a cup of coffee with every meal but would gladly give it up for a cold Yuengling Lager.
She was preceded in death by beloved companion George Semanchik; 2 brothers Joseph and John Trusow; and a sister Eileen Hilthon.
Surviving are a daughter Georgine Urenko, and her husband Michael of Bethlehem; brother Gene Trusow, of CO; 2 granddaughters Courtney Korn, and her husband Alex, of Bethlehem; and Cayley Urenko of VA.

Dear Trusow family,
Our hearts hurt when your heart hurts. Please know that God also shares in your loss. But He is also there to strengthen you through this challenging time. 1 Thessalonians 2:16,17 reminds us “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of underserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.” Trust that God will continue to give you what you need day by day to cope. God also has promised an end to death on earth. To learn what the Bible teaches about the end of death please see this encouraging Bible-based video. bit.ly/Deathjworg
