On September 24, 2005, Tricia married the love of her life, Clark John Brown, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together they shared a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and family.

Tricia was a chiropractic assistant at the Spinal Corrective Center and took great pride in her work and the people she helped every day.

Tricia will be remembered for her kind heart, her dedication to others, and her love for family and friends. She enjoyed traveling to Islamorada, Florida, spending time at Barn Town Brewery, and watching all her favorite shows on Bravo. Above all, she treasured time with her family—especially her grandson Jinxi.
