Trina Love Lampl

Our wife, daughter, mother and friend Trina Love Lampl died March 8, 2022, in San Francisco, after a brief illness and complications from scleroderma, an autoimmune disorder. She was 53.

She leaves behind a loving husband, Burt Lampl, whom she has known since she was in middle school, and whom she married on July 6, 1991, in Hawaii at Kauai’s Fern Grotto on the Wailua River. She also leaves behind a daughter, Hallie Lampl, 19, whom she loved and adored beyond measure. Trina will be cheering from heaven as Hallie takes on the world. Trina also leaves behind her dear mother and friend, Linda Love, of Shawnee.

Preceding Trina in death were her father, Jack Love, and her brothers Kevin Love and Scott Love.

Trina graduated from Shawnee High School in 1987 where she shared her bubbly and infectious personality as a cheerleader for the mighty Wolves. She started her collegiate pursuits as a dance major at the University of Oklahoma. Being a natural born teacher, she ultimately earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from OU in 1991. While at OU she built lifelong bonds with her loyal sisters of Delta Delta Delta sorority. She taught middle school math for almost two decades demonstrating staunch advocacy for the evolution of education with innovative approaches inside and outside of the classroom. She was an avid Sooner fan and regularly traveled with her husband to football games, wherever they were, including at Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, UCLA, Washington, Houston (the only loss) and bowl games that included the Rose, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar and Holiday bowls. Her family and friends loved her perspectives on the games, plays, players, and coaches (current and former). She will now have the best seat in the universe to watch OU football Coach Brent Venables take his squad to the field this fall. Her other passions for dancing, teaching and water-skiing yielded many achievements and awards through the years. She also loved cooking and music and would send her friends recipes and links to songs that she was enjoying so they could enjoy them, too.

Trina’s friends and family members will celebrate her life in two states in upcoming services. In Shawnee, OK, they will hold a graveside memorial service officiated by Denise Senter at 1 p.m. March 19 at Resthaven Memorial, 44909 US-3, Shawnee, OK 74801. A celebration of Trina’s life will be held on April 2 at 451 Roberts Road, Pacifica, CA 94044, prior to and through sunset that day. Sunsets and sunrises were Trina’s favorite times of the day, and she especially loved California’s sunsets over the ocean.
