Patricia Dianne McLaughlin

It is with profound sadness that we share her passing on September 28, 2025, at the age of 82, in Bakersfield, CA.

Trisha was not only our mother, but our guiding light - always full of love, wisdom, and laughter. She attended college and became a Telemetry Technician at a local hospital while raising 10 strong, independent daughters. She was also blessed with 28 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, who knew her lovingly as Grandma Red, Grandma Redish, and Nana.

She lived life to the fullest, always radiant and stylish wherever she went - hair, lipstick, and all. Truly, she remained forever young at heart.

Trisha is survived by her 10 daughters:

Lisa Moe, Sydney Chase, Linda Yunk, Jackie Perotti, Heidi Ranger, Pattie Dixon, Amy Stortz, Sherry Stone, Honey Crull, Bonnie Burlando

She is also survived by her sister Ruth Hawk, nephew Evan Gorman, niece Stephanie Gorman, and great-niece Ruby.

As children, we remember our mother sewing us red skirts, white blouses, and putting us in shiny black shoes for the Christmas program at school featuring "The Morrisons." She never missed a single birthday or special occasion - always making sure each child felt loved. Her devotion to family was unshakable, and she will be deeply missed.

Mom was a believer in Jesus, and we are comforted knowing she is now in His presence. We will all honor her memory by living out the example she set - love, forgiveness, faith, and strength.

This is not goodbye but see you again.

We love you always, Mama, and Grandma Red; we will miss you until then.

Celebration of Life A service in Trisha's honor will be held on October 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM at The Station, 7900 Downing Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93308.
