She spent many years serving in various church callings, such as Primary chorister, Cub Scout leader, Young Women's president, nursery leader, stake Primary secretary and stake Primary president. She truly loved working with the youth.
Trish was blessed with many talents that she freely shared with all. She coached little league softball and was often found in her children's classrooms volunteering. Her life was full of service. She had a great love for her Heavenly Father, her Savior, Jesus Christ, and great love for her devoted husband and her children.
She loved having her family around. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and always made them feel so special and loved.
Her smile and bright eyes will be missed. We love you, Mom!
