Mother of Ruth, Bruce, Faith and Burke.
Co-founder with her husband Dawson Trotman of The Navigators.
Lila Mae Trotman, wife of Navigators founder Dawson Trotman and a key participant in the ministry over seven decades, died on October 27, 2004, at age 90. A service celebrating her life was held on November 7, 2004, at The Navigators' Glen Eyrie Conference Center in Colorado Springs, where Dawson's memorial service had taken place 48 years earlier.
Lila Mae was born in Buffalo Valley, Tennessee, on December 12, 1913, to William and Eda Mae Clayton. When she was two, her family moved to southern California. There she grew up, graduated from Narbonne High School, and met and eventually married Dawson Trotman on July 3, 1932.
The following year the young couple began a ministry to military men and women in their home. What started as a small spark spread person by person and eventually became The Navigators, a worldwide partnership that today has more than 4,000 staff ministering in 110 countries. Lila shaped the lives of many Navigator women, and Dawson often said that without her and her willingness to open her home, there never would have been a Navigator ministry.
Meanwhile, the Trotmans became the parents of five children: Bruce David, Ruth Darlene, Burke Dawson, Faith Arlene, and Charles "Chuckie" Earle. Dawson, Ruth, Chuckie, and grandson Kevin Wortley preceded Lila in death.
