She was a member of St. John Gualbert and was fluent in speaking Spanish. Tricia will be remembered as a gifted artist, accomplished musician and dancer. She possessed a huge heart and was willing to help anyone in need. Tricia had a wonderful sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and loved to make others laugh. She found her greatest happiness in spending time with family. Tricia was a selfless, gentle soul who loved deeply and was greatly loved by others. The world was a better place because Tricia was in it, and it will be emptier without her. At the request of the family, there will be no viewing. A private remembrance will be held at a later date.
