Teresa Pace

Teresa M. "Trish" Hollenbaugh Pace, 51, of Lower Paxton Township, passed away unexpectedly on Monday January 19, 2026, at UPMC Community Osteopathic Hospital.
Born on February 10, 1974, in Camp Hill, she was a beacon of joy and resilience to all who knew her.
A 1992 graduate of Susquenita High School, Trish furthered her education at Harrisburg Area Community College. Her professional journey was marked by her role as a Service Manager at Freedom Toyota, where her dedication and professionalism earned her the respect of her colleagues and the affection of customers. Trish was also known for her friendly demeanor and excellent service as a waitress at Kokomo's and other area restaurants.
Trish's early years were filled with active participation in the former Asbury United Methodist Church in Duncannon, where she was involved in a variety of activities that showcased her commitment to community and faith. Additionally, she demonstrated her team spirit as a member of the West Shore YMCA Gymnastic Team. During high school, she hosted two exchange students and maintained a lifelong friendship with one of them, Manuela, a testament to her caring nature and ability to forge lasting bonds.
Animals held a special place in Trish's heart, particularly her dogs, which she loved unconditionally. She relished boating and cherished the moments spent with her family at their Delaware beach home. Trish's parents instilled in her a spirit of tenacity from a young age, which became a cornerstone of her character, especially as she encountered greater health challenges later in life. Her courage and determination in the face of adversity were an inspiration to those around her.
Trish was the beloved daughter of B. Eugene and Linda S. (Billet) Hollenbaugh, of Selbyville, DE. Her life was enriched by the love and companionship of Craig N. Pace, of Harrisburg, with whom she shared nearly 25 wonderful years. As a devoted mother, she leaves behind her cherished daughter, Courtney E. White and her husband, James, of Harrisburg. She was the proud grandmother to Josiah I. and Mecca N. White. Trish was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Harry and Dorothy "Dottie" (Edinger) Billet, and paternal grandparents, Charles "Bert" and Pearl (Humphrey) Hollenbaugh.
