PATRICIA (Trish) ANNE WILLIAMS RYDL

Feb.17, 1953 – Aug. 12, 2025

Trish Rydl, of Bentonville, Arkansas, was taken to her heavenly home on August 12, 2025 at the age of 72. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bob and Erline Williams, and her grandson, Mason de la Garza. She is survived by her husband, Ron Rydl; her son, Robert Rydl, and his wife, Sunny, and their children, Madison and Ryan; her daughter, Sandy de la Garza and her children, Hunter and Mackenzie; and her daughter, April Rydl and her children, Syrus Sipes and Coralyne Sipes.

She is also survived by her sister, Kathy Barnett, and her two brothers, Rusty Williams and his wife, Carol, and Kevin Williams and his wife, Susan. Trish also had many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Trish was an adventurous soul, loving the outdoors. When living in Idaho, she would take her two daughters camping at the Grand Teton National Park. She loved outdoor activities like river rafting and canoeing. Her favorite place was the beach – any beach. And when at the beach, there was always a time to watch sailboats and eat fried shrimp. Another favorite meal was beef enchiladas, but she would always comment that they were never as good as those her mother made.

As children, Trish and her siblings were raised in McAllen, Texas, and spent many weekends at South Padre Island. She loved road trips with her sister and sometimes accompanied her husband on his trucking jobs. She was a fun spirit and always enjoyed a good laugh, even if it was at herself. She will be remembered for her bright smile, her joyous laugh, and her love for her family.

Trish's son, Robert, is on Naval sea duty for the next six months and, therefore, a memorial service will be held when he returns.
