It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Trish, who was taken from us far too soon.

To the inexpressible grief of husband Liam, children Ian, Laura, Stephen and Mark. Son in law Ritchie, Daughters in law Sarah and Jessica, grandchildren Sophia and Ollie. Siblings, brothers and sister-in-law, niece, nephews, grandniece. Forever loved and sadly missed by her Bestie Crew Eileen, Ger, Marian. A special mention to her heartbroken friends Una, Marion, Jane, Flo, Noreen and Carol.
Most importantly this announcement is to the greatest sadness of Trish who wasn’t ready to go. Trish loved her life and had a lot of living left to do. She adored her family and friends, and her smile and warm hugs will never be forgotten by those who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves a void that can never be filled.
May Trish’s beautiful, brave, kind soul rest in peace.
