Tricia was a competitive athlete and captained her women's 4.5 tennis team to a league championship. She was an accomplished golfer and had a hole-in-one at the age of 80! She traveled to 33 different countries over her lifetime, Italy being her favorite. As an empty nester, Tricia volunteered her time with the MS Society, her neighborhood homeowner's association, her church, Whiz Kids Tutoring, and was a second mom to two DU exchange students. She was always attractive, forever stylish, and enjoyed an active social life, constantly entertaining with great style and charm.
