Our beloved Patricia "Trish" Abigail Kepler passed away on Friday, August 1, 2025.

Patricia was born on April 30, 1972, in Buncombe County. She will always be remembered as a wonderful homemaker and a great mom. Trish loved all her family deeply, and they will each hold onto the precious memories they shared together forever.

She was a friend to everyone. Patricia had been employed with Go Grocery for 10 dedicated years, where she made many friendships that have lasted a lifetime. One of her favorite things to do was "going out to eat", especially with her son, Ethan.

Most importantly, Patricia was of the Baptist faith and she was blessed with a good, kind, and loving heart. She will be deeply missed by her family and her loved ones.

Trish was preceded in death by her parents, and she is survived by Johnny Burgess, whom Trish loved with all her heart and soul; her son, Ethan Stanley; a brother, James Stanley; an uncle, Willy Reed; and a sister-in-law, Sarah Gibson.
