Patricia Ann Rose, age 64, formerly of Howell, NJ, passed away on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 at the Frederick Health Hospital in Frederick, MD from complications of Multiple System Atrophy.

She attended St. Leo the Great School in Lincroft, NJ, went on to attend Red Bank Catholic High School in Red Bank, NJ, and received her Associates degree from Brookdale Community College. She began her career working for the Social Security Administration before transitioning to Fort Monmouth, where she met her husband of more than 35 years, Arthur. After spending many years raising their three children, leading Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and attending countless activities in support of her children, Trish returned to the workforce as the Office Manager for C.E.

Her greatest love in life was her 4 grandchildren, Katherine Veronica Bennett, Cormac Turner, Benjamin Slater-Kelly, and Erin Rose Turner.

Trish, as she was fondly known by friends, shared her love of art, crafting, traveling, painting, and sewing with those around her. Some of her most well-loved creations were her photographs, both taken locally and abroad, and her latest paintings of Moana’s Hei-Hei and his family. She enjoyed sharing her love of crafts with her grandchildren. Later in life, Trish enjoyed traveling to many places like Alaska, cruising the Mediterranean, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the Caribbean, and always dreamed of visiting Paris. She enjoyed reading by the pool, playing bocce with her team, Great Balls of Fire, and bowling with friends. Everyone who met Trish knew she had a great love for life.
