Patricia “Tricia” Lee Rosales, 82, of Denver, passed away peacefully on July 23, 2025. She was raised in Denver by loving parents Monte and Berniece, alongside her 3 siblings. She went to West High School in Denver but never graduated. Instead, she earned her beautician license at a young age and began working. Tricia married the love of her life Tony in 1959 and soon after started their family. They raised four boys together and in the early 1980’s Tricia went back to school earning her GED and then attending college and earning a degree in Human Services in 1986. Among other jobs after earning her degree, she ran the women’s program at well-known Arapahoe House where she had a significant impact on the lives of women with children struggling with addiction.
