Patricia "Trisha" Ione Cartwright
8/8/1930-7/10/2007
Trisha came a long way from Watertown, S.D., via states up and down both coasts and Venezuela to Florida and finally came to rest in Utah, maximizing opportunities along the way. She was married and divorced three times before settling on a 30-year companion, Myron Ehrlich, who preceded her in death by nine months. She had two daughters, Linda Stoces (Frank) and Pamela Castillo (Leonel), who were adopted by her third husband of more than twenty years, Raymond McDonald Fillerup.
Trisha was a graduate of the PA Academy of Fine Arts and the U of P, class of '68. Besides her daughters, she is survived by her mother, Ione Varness, her sister, Eleanor Lowes (Don), three grandchildren, and five great grandchildren.
A brief memorial service, including a display if a sampling of her art, will be held at Olpin Family Mortuary, 494 S. 300 E., Pleasant Grove, UT, on Saturday, 4 Aug, at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers and to honor Trisha's great love of animals, please consider making a donation to the Humane Society in her name.
