Tricia's relationship with Jesus Christ and her spirituality could be felt by anyone in her presence. Tricia radiated peace, acceptance and a calm to all who knew her. Tricia gave her love freely and offered a perspective to her family, friends – and even strangers - that helped them to see their own goodness and light.

In her early years, Tricia was a vivacious woman who was unforgettable with her God given radiant red hair, beautiful brown eyes, and a smile that could stop you in your tracks - or take your breath away.
Tricia LOVED to dance and her daughter Kimberly remembers she could outlast anyone on the dance floor! She loved music and especially Elvis Presley. Music was always playing in the house when her girls were growing up. This was a huge influence in her three daughters' love of music from a very early age.

Tricia's daughter Kimberly swears she was playing Elvis Presley while she was in the womb…This pre-birth influence would have Kimberly watching Elvis movies every Saturday and running up to the TV to kiss Elvis. Tricia would always get such a kick out of this! Kimberly says, "If she didn't have Elvis music on, she had Elvis music on!"

Tricia's daughter Michelle was forever influenced by the movie and soundtrack to Jesus Christ Superstar, which she was introduced to by her mother at the age of 6 - as well as growing up listening to Barbra Streisand and Barry Manilow.
In raising her daughters as a single mother, she instilled the qualities of hard work, responsibility and independence.
Tricia served in the US Navy Reserves and was honored to serve her country.
Tricia loved animals and was a breeder of miniature pinchers. She is predeceased by her beloved dogs Amber, Prince, Lady, Lucky, Casey, and Coco who we know were absolutely thrilled to welcome her Home!

Tricia had a true gift in making each home she lived in her own work of artistic expression. Her love of American Indian art and her love of wolves could always be found in every room. She always felt a strong connection to both. If you weren't sure what kind of gift to give her, either one would suffice!
Tricia was a thrill seeker; she was a certified Scuba Diver and longed to try a Zip Line adventure in her later years. Even though she wasn't able to achieve that goal, she was a wiz at mastering the electric scooters while shopping at Publix, Walmart or Home Depot!
Tricia cherished her grandchildren and enjoyed many special moments with them over the years.
Tricia loved her friends dearly and valued their time spent together going to garage sales, shopping at food pantries, going to the ocean, and having lunch together.

Tricia handled her illness with grace and profound courage. She found her peace and had no fear of dying for she knew where her spirit was returning to. Her relationship with God was unshakeable and she was grateful for every moment given to her. She is and always will be a pillar of strength.
Tricia's light and energy live on – she is our eternal angel!
