Wilda Christine Trout, 93, of Kings Mountain, NC, passed away on January 29, 2022 of natural causes at The Phoenix of Dunwoody assisted living facility in Dunwoody GA.

She was born in Woodruff, SC, daughter of the late Thomas Ferd Lanford (Woodruff's first Fire Chief) and Susan Cannon Lanford. She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband, Guy C. Trout who died in 2008. Wilda was also preceded in death by 2 brothers and 2 sisters, Thomas Ferd Lanford Jr., MN; John D Lanford, SC; Ouida L. Presti, MA and Jeannette L. Morris, MA.

Wilda was a faithful member of Central United Methodist Church where she loved singing in the choir. She was also an amazing cook-especially baking and frequently shared with her friends and neighbors. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, aunt and grandmother. She was an accomplished typist and used an old-fashioned typewriter for many years to write letters to her children, sisters, nieces and nephews. She truly loved her family very much-especially her only granddaughter Lauren who was the apple of her eye. She played piano by ear, no sheet music necessary and young Lauren would sit next to her and sing. She was a sweet, kind and generous lady who is being reunited with her beloved husband Guy on their anniversary February 5th.
