Bath – Gertrud “Trudy” Ratcliffe, 80, of Bath died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, October 27, 2019 at the Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn.  She spent her last days surrounded by all those who loved her. 

Trudy was a small town girl from Germany who met and married Phillip B.

She was predeceased by her husband, Phillip in 2009. 

She is survived by her daughter, Renate Masse and her fiancé Fran Butler, her daughter Kimberly McIntire and her husband Dean; a son, Roger Willingham; 5 grandchildren, Ryan Masse and his wife Sara, Dennis Masse and his wife Stephanie, Nathan McIntire and his wife Jessica, Kathryn Brown and her husband Dustin and James McIntire and his partner Brie Ross; 3 great grandchildren, Eloise, Brooks and Alexis.

Her beautiful kind heart will be remembered by all that knew her.
