Trish lovingly worked in her yard and flower gardens at her home on the at the corner of North Royal Ave.
and Fairview Ct. for over forty years. She was very proud and enjoyed working with her flowers. Many
people would stop to admire her handiwork. Her kindness, sense of humor, and love for all things fashion
also defined her. Her beloved chihuahua, Sandy, was faithfully by her side as she left this world for her
Heavenly home.
