Trisha was originally raised in Wilmington MA, but spent many of her childhood years in St. Paul’s, NC. Trisha was the daughter of the late Angus Wilton Suggs and Florence Louise (Gardner) Suggs. She attended St. Pauls High School, class of 1981. Trisha’s love for people and contagious cheerful heart served her well as a hospital candy striper, in her school chorus, serving as a Sunday school teacher, baking chocolate chip cookies, loving foster kids as her own, and cheering on her high school sports teams. She loved a good Italian meal at Mangia Mangia, a roast beef and French fry from the Last Corner Restaurant, shopping, laughing with friends and family, praying for every person she met with a need, and watching her grand babies grow up. 

She was an exemplary person towards everyone she encountered and never missed a moment to tell someone about her Heavenly Father. She lived out her personal beliefs whole heartedly by unconditionally loving everyone that came across her path, giving everyone a second chance, believing in redemption, and forgiving always. She loved Jesus, her personal Savior, with all of her heart.
