Jean Trebek on why husband Alex Trebek wanted to ‘empower people’

"I think that is one of Alex's gifts was that he could be very resolute and know that the truth will not hurt you, and he wanted to empower people to move through whatever challenge they had in life with a sense of inner strength, inner dignity and love," Jean Trebek said.

The couple were involved in many causes over the years, including funding scholarships at Fordham University in New York City, supporting the United Service Organizations, donating public park space in the Hollywood Hills and funding global projects throughThey also made sure to pass that spirit of giving along to their three children, which included a trip to a village in Zambia to see a community center and school they helped fund.

She also remembered a moment in Ethiopia decades ago when a young woman was so desperate she offered Alex her baby, which had a profound effect on him."I think that moment, meeting that woman, he was like, 'Wow,' and then you're left , 'What more can I do?'" Trebek said. "And when that contestant wrote that, you could see him, like, 'Oh, don't make me cry here, but I love it,''' Trebek said."I think that meant the world to him."
