Trudy Lynn Richards passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of June 25, 2024, in her hometown of Bishop, CA, where she was surrounded by the love and comfort of her family and friends.

She was often found either wandering her garden or at her other favorite hangout, the casino, lighting the place up with her glowing smile and radiating positivity. She was a skilled hand gamer, and even a world traveler, traveling to Australia with her family in 2003.

Pizona Fire daily update June 28, 2024
Since last night, the Pizona Fire located in the Adobe Hills of Mineral County, Nevada, grew several hundred acres to 2,002 acres. The fire continues to push northeast in pinyon-juniper and sagebrush vegetation, and has just run into the 2003 Sagehen Fire burn scar.
Air tankers and helicopters will continue with dropping retardant line to reinforce perimeter lines, assisting ground crews and smokejumpers encountering access challenges in extremely rough and inaccessible terrain.
Despite this, firefighters have managed to construct hand line approximately one-half of the way up both the left and right flanks of the fire, gaining 10% containment.
