The Trickle families wanted me to pass this information on to their "racing" families so they can know that they're all doing well, they're together, and take comfort in knowing their Mother is resting peacefully. Those of you who knew Lauretta Trickle better known as "Ma Trickle" knew how much she loved her family and racing. Many of you may have received one of her special autographs she'd give when fans requested it. When Dick would sign "Dick Trickle #99" she would sign "Ma Trickle" and what ever age she was at the time. Some may have a small collection from over the years.

We have received some inquiries concerning where to send cards or flowers. We want you to know your thoughts and prayers are the greatest support. For those that would like to send something in memory of Lauretta, the family has asked that you make a donation to one of the memorial funds in memory of her grandson Chris Trickle or Great-Granddaughter Nicole Bowman.
