Her parents instilled in her values of kindness, warmth, and a profound sense of empathy that she carried throughout her life. Trish was the beloved sister to John, Vincent, and Mark, who survive her and will forever hold her memory close. A proud alumna of the University of South Florida, Trish graduated with a degree in law, embarking on a career marked by dedication, integrity, and a commitment to justice.
