Tricia was a dear friend and mentor of mine at KUB. She was a regular lunch buddy so during the 100s of lunches over the years lots of conversation and laughter and quick chats at our desks about work,family or anything. Tricia was always helping guide new employees to help them reach their full potential. She had such energy emotionally and physically. I can still hear her stopping by my desk as she left for the day "hey girly girl see you tomorrow". So for now Tricia to you I say hey girly girl see you one day.

I will miss my sister Tricia more than words can describe. Tricia was blessed with the kindness and compassion from our mom and the keen intelligence and unwavering integrity from our dad. I am greatful to have had a sister who always looked out for me in my youth and who shared wonderful travel adventures with me throughout our life.

I met Patricia Sobieski 55 years ago before we started at Georgetown. We remained friends ever since. Pat was a wonderful person with an astonishing joie de vivre. She lived her life with grace and determination. She loved Laura and Richard boundlessly. Her life was a Master Class in how to live.
I am grateful for our friendship, my dear. You will always be tucked in our hearts.

Tricia was one of my best friends at KUB. She was a mentor for how to live life well; always quick to celebrate happy moments and a great friend when I needed someone to listen. I miss her awesome smile and the laughter already. I know she is bringing cheer and warmth to all she meets in heaven.

I worked with Tricia on KUB's Environmental Employee Team, a duty she volunteered for did for decades. I could only describe Tricia as caring, compassionate, empathetic and unwaveringly kind. She was someone I always looked forward to being in a meeting with was happy to pick up the phone and talk to. Her sense of humor and candor will be sorely missed.

Trish was a consoling, caring friend that was always available for advice and support. She had a great sense of humor and was always up for a good estate sale. I will miss her warm smile and availability to take care of my felines. I believe she loved them as much as I do. The world will be a little less brighter without her presence but the heavens have gained a true bright star

I will forever remember her welcoming smile and her infectious laughter. She added the "sparkle" to all the gatherings she attended. Events will be dimmer without her light.

Your mother was a great neighbor and good friend for over 40 years. In our conversations she always beamed with pride and joy when she talked about both of you, Laura and Richard. She will be missed.
