Trisha was born to Matthew and Debbie (Lane) Dawdy on September 16, 1975, in Sioux City, Iowa. She attended East High School and throughout her high school years she became a CNA. After high school she continued being a certified nurse’s aide. Trisha was always a selfless person and put other’s needs above her own. She was always a caretaker, whether it be her career or taking care of family members who needed help.

On January 7, 2012, Trisha was united in marriage to Jack Desrosiers at her favorite gathering place, Pete’s 20 ^th . The ceremony was performed by her late Grandfather, Bill Lane. Jack and Trisha never had children of their own, but they always treated her sister’s kids as if they were their own. Trisha took great pride in caring for her nephews whenever she was needed, while mom and dad worked, were ill, or simply had plans. Family was very important to Trisha, and she never missed a birthday party, baby shower, or other special get togethers that the family would have. However, she was the one who always said she would be on time to the party but was always the one who showed up late! She was also an avid reader and was never seen without a book in hand when at home. Trisha also loved her dog Ford and he loved her. Following her around the house all day and night and if she left the house he would whine the entire time. She also came to love Hensley, Gizmo, and Nomi (who passed in Oct.), her God dogs. Trisha loved to talk and laugh, as all knew her, she liked to do it loudly too. She was loved by so many throughout her full but far too short life. She will be very missed by all.
