Patricia Ann Ferrari (Gallicano)

Patricia Ann "Trish" Ferrari (Gallicano), lovingly known to many as Patti, passed away on April 30, 2025, in Castro Valley, California, at the age of 74. Born on February 14, 1951, in San Francisco and raised in Daly City, Trish lived a life rich in love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family and faith.

A proud graduate of Jefferson High School in Daly City, Trish went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Cal State Hayward. Her professional career included working as a Billing Adjuster for the Butcher's Union. However, she often said that her most important and cherished roles were being a Mom, Sister, Aunt Patti, Nonni, and Loyal friend.

Trish was the devoted mother of Jeffrey Ramirez and Theresa Ferrari. She found immense joy in her grandchildren Riley Ramirez and Etienne Ramirez, who brought light and laughter into her life. Known affectionately as Nonni, she embraced every moment with them-whether it was cheering from the sidelines or sharing stories around the kitchen table.

Her home was always filled with warmth and celebration. A passionate cook who inherited her love for food from her father-a chef-Trish delighted in preparing meals for family gatherings and holidays. Her Italian heritage was not only evident in her cooking but also in her vibrant personality: loyal, funny, compassionate, outgoing, and full of life.

Trish had a deep love for reading and was an active member of the Valley Page Turners book club. She also shared countless laughs with her close-knit group of friends known as the "Bunco Babes," which is compiled of a group of women some of who were originally part of the CV Mother's Club and added friends from all over the area since. Whether playing Cribbage or decorating for the holidays with meticulous care and joy, Trish brought enthusiasm to everything she did.

Her Catholic faith was central to her life-not just spiritually but culturally. A dedicated member of Our Lady of Grace Church, she volunteered with St. Vincent de Paul and participated faithfully in WINGS (Women In God's Spirit), a prayer group that nurtured both her soul and community connections.

Trish loved animals, traveling to new places, cheering on the San Francisco Giants, and above all else-being surrounded by family. Her adventurous spirit and boundless compassion left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

May Patricia Ann Ferrari's memory continue to bring comfort and inspiration to those who knew and loved her. A Memorial Mass will be held on May 15, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 02:00 PM at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church 3433 Somerset Ave. We welcome you to share your memories and honor Trish's beautiful spirit with us.
