You could always count on her to be the life of the party. She loved spending time with her family, if she wasn’t working you could guarantee she would be with her grandkids. She was their biggest supporter at all their sporting events. She loved her family with all her heart, her girls, her mom, her sisters, her best friends Bren and Da and her grandbabies were her life. In her spare time, she loved to read, shop for antiques and cheer on her Dallas Cowboys.

Trina was my scrub nurse at WNJ when I first started my surgical practice in 1981. She had continued to be my scrub nurse for almost 38 years! She was always upbeat, supportive, and brutally honest. I always loved Trina and she will be missed by me, and all the other surgeons and nurses that worked with her every day.?kpsmd

Trina was one of my first scrub nurses at WNJ in 1981 when I first started my surgical practice way back when. Trina was always upbeat, happy , helpful, and brutally honest.

May God give the family many joyful memories of Trina. We have lovely thoughts and was shown a special shining light of her at First Christian Church, McKinney. Hugs and hope for the entire family.
May sweet memories of Trina temper your pain. I am so sorry for the family and her friends. I knew her from years ago in the O.R. We kept “touch” a bit on Facebook. I remember best Trina’s heart and laughter.
My dear, sweet Trina, you have no idea how our chat Saturday lifted my spirits, and how quickly I slipped into the old habit of “heeding the advice of my weenie-bug”. You raised me up, on your way to heaven. I cannot believe you are gone. My heart is heavy for myself but so light for the angel you have become. I love you always. Blessings to your sweet family you’ve left behind, but we will see each other again soon!
