She played the flute, guitar and keyboards, and worked for a time at the Prescott Music Center. She also worked at APS, where she loved marching in the Fiesta Bowl Parade with the APS clowns.

She was married to the love of her life Bob Heck on April 17, 2004. They enjoyed their time together, especially camping and gold panning, until Bob’s death from cancer on December 3, 2010.

Trish is survived by a sister, Jean Herbert of Phoenix, and an extended family of cousins and in-laws. Trish will be interred at Heritage Memorial Park in Dewey, Arizona, beside her parents, sister Sue and husband Bob.
