Patricia Ann Jennings (also know as Trish), age 65, passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025, in Clermont, Florida. Trish was born in Eustis, Florida, and throughout her life, she called many places home - always bringing warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever she went.
Trish shared her life with her loving husband, James Jennings. She was a devoted mother to four children - Penny (who preceded her in death in 2011), Krystal, Desiree, and Sean. Family was everything to Trish, and her heart was fullest when she was surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. She was a proud "Nana" to nine grandchildren - Lilliana, Yulisa, Hector, Lorenzo, Arielle, Juandel, Israel, Sabastian, and Hunter - and a cherished great-grandmother to Alana.
Trish is also survived by her siblings, Brenda, Judy, David, and Terry, who she loved dearly and who loved her just as much in return. Their bond was unbreakable, and they have been a constant source of strength, love, and support for Trish's children during this very difficult time.
She also deeply loved her many nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Her niece Stacy shared a particularly close bond with Trish, standing by her side through life's many ups and downs - a connection that Trish cherished deeply and that will be lovingly remembered always.
Trish had a heart of gold and a genuine passion for helping others. She dedicated many years to working in healthcare as a Medical Assistant, where her compassion and gentle nature touched countless lives. Her love extended beyond people to the many dogs she cared for over the years - her faithful companions. Before her passing, she was lovingly cared for by her three dogs, Sadie, Marley, and Milo.
Trish will be remembered for her kindness, her bright smile, and her endless love for family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, laughter, and unconditional love that will continue to live on in all who knew her.
