PATRICIA JOY "TRISH" ANDERSON

(November 13, 1967 - September 14, 2025) Trish Anderson, beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on September 14, 2025, after a brief battle with ovarian cancer. Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Trish often said she had the "greatest childhood." She was raised by her (predeceased) father, David Anderson, and spent the summers with her mother in Vancouver, Canada. Trish began playing sports at an early age; she stated, "a lot of what I do and who I am are because of sports." In Calgary, she also formed close and enduring friendships that remained important to her throughout her life. At University of Toronto, Trish completed an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English and History and Master's degree in Industrial and Labor Relations. She also met her beloved gang of "Friends of Trish (FOTs)" at the University's Hart House, and continued to find the most cherished (and eclectic!) group of friends at MSNBC, General Electric (GE) and throughout her life's travels. Trish excelled in business, finishing her career as a senior executive, working around the world as a leader focused on major digital business transformation initiatives. Last year, she was recognized as a Top 100 Innovator & Entrepreneur by The Top 100 Magazine. Trish made her home in New York City, where she enjoyed hosting family and friends. She focused on sharing experiences with friends and family and was always very generous with her time and resources. Trish was known for her warm heart, lavish spirit and adventure. With a quick wit, and a love of laughter, she will be remembered for her unique perspective on life, and her prioritization of her friends and family. Trish is survived by her mother, Patti Howell; stepfather, Bob Howell; brother, Tim Anderson (Doug); stepsisters, Sue Rawlyk (Dave), Marj Smith (Dick), and Jennifer Howell (Gus); niece, Elizabeth; and her dearest extended family who stood by her side over the past nine months.

A memorial service will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, September 22nd, at Pinebrook Golf and Country Club, 166 Pinebrook Way SW.
