She was a wonderful cousin and grew up next door with her sisters Linda and Lori! Love them all-Ed and Sandy

Sorry to hear of her passing, always had a smile and was a warm person, the MW class of 77 has a tear in its fabric. Way too young.

I am blessed to call Tricia a friend. We met in a women’s MeetUp Group. We also played Bunco together once a month. We shared a passion for reading. She was a real person who spoke her mind in a calm, subtle, yet direct way. She will be truly missed by those of us who were fortunate to know her. Much love. Melissa S. 

Trish was a  kind  and gentle person. I knew Trish from Women Growing Older Gracefully group and admired her goal of traveling across the US with her camper. She will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to her family. May she Rest In Peace! 


Linda, Tricia and Lori,  my cousins, grew up next door to us in Round Lake Park after they moved from New Rochelle.  My Dad's sister was their mother.  I have many fond memories of the "girls next door" as we were the "boys next door" (Marty, Ed and Jack). Many fun times. Tricia will be missed. May she Rest in Peace. 
Sandy and Ed

Lori, Linda and family, our sincere condolences on the passing of Trish. Growing up with my sister Jen having you three as her friends was like having three more older sisters which was awesome. Love to you all!

I knew Tricia from the social group Women Growing Older Gracefully. I am very sad that she left us so soon. We often talked about her plan to buy a travel trailer and set off on an adventure. She was researching her options carefully and knew exactly what she needed and wanted right down to a moped for getting around campsites. Tricia was kind and always lent an ear if you had a problem and the next time I saw her, she would follow up and ask how I was doing. This is a hard loss for our group and it will take awhile to get used to her not being with us.  Heaven gained an angel.

Dear Kevin and Kyle,
I am so sorry to hear that your Mother has died.  Your Mom and I starred in the movie "Building Independence", which is the name of the place where Kyle and my son Alex are housemates.  
For the past four years she and I would go out for breakfast.  I would drink coffee and she would have a glass of raspberry tea.  We would talk about our sons and show off the latest pictures of our grandchildren.  She loved you all so much. 
 I shall go back to the cafe and have a glass of raspberry tea.

We will all greatly miss Tricia’s beautiful smile greeting us at our Women Growing Older Gracefully meetups. I loved being inspired by her strength, love of her family, and her plans to travel the US. Tricia and I shared baseball stories of her nephew and my grandson. I will miss her.

Trish was a very sweet kind special person. I knew her from The women Aging Gracefully group ! She will be missed May she Rest In Peace! She had great dreams of traveling through the US in a camper I will miss her! My heartfelt condolences to her family.

I would like to extend my most sincere sympathy to those who Tricia held most dear; Kyle, Kevin and his family, and Lori and her family. She loved each of you so much and was so proud of every accomplishment and milestone you experienced. It was my privilege to work with Tricia at WakeMed. Her dry wit and her sense of adventure were her signature. She has gone much too soon. She will be remembered by many of her fellow nurses...always. It is my prayer that the sadness of her absence will gradually be replaced with the happiest of memories of which she was a part of. 

I am heartbroken to learn that my childhood friend has passed.  The memory that strikes me first is the time Tricia decided to take Lori for a drive in the family car at the age of 7.  They didn't get very far.  I have very fond memories from that time that I will always cherish. My deepest sympathies and love to all her family.
