Trina was dedicated to her job at the Owl Club, as she loved it like a second home and family. She enjoyed the simple things in life; laughing and making others laugh and to lend a helping hand. She was most passionate about all of her grandkids and being “Memaw”. Her friendliness, helping hands, and loving heart to her family and friends is a tribute to the beauty of her own heart and soul. Her contagious smile and laugh will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
