A proud graduate of Westfield High School's Class of 2006, Tricia pursued her passion for nurturing young minds by taking child development courses at HCC.

Her strength and love were unwavering as she faced life's challenges with grace and determination.

Her grandparents Peter and Lillian Hebert played an important role in her life, as did her aunt Diane Rodgers; uncle and aunt Stephen and Tina Hebert; cousins Ashley, Zachary, Stephen Jr., and Michael; and family friend Nathan Neveu.
