Trish graduated from the International Elementary School of Lhokseumauwe in Sumatra, Indonesia and Fountain Valley High School in Colorado Springs, CO in 1998. She then graduated from the East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon and began a career of caregiving, first practicing massage therapy and later becoming a certified nursing assistant caring for the elderly throughout her career. Trish will be remembered for the great care and warmth she extended to her elderly patients, often spending after shift hours with them.
On October 10, 2005, she married Andrew Hardt, who preceded her in death. Trish’s true love were her dogs (Sugar and Zeppelin), and Pearl her constant companion. She was particularly skilled with horses, winning the coveted Horseman of the Year Award in High School, and working with the Coors Draft Horse Team.
