During her childhood she spent a lot of time in Twin Mountain, N.H. at her grandparents’ home, which she loved. She also spent significant time on Willard Beach. She had a special ability to find humor in so many things.

Tricia is survived by her twin children, Ashley M. Nicely and her husband Jacob, son, Ross C.

Tricia is also survived by her sisters Suzanne Orlowski, Diane Collins, brother, Stephen Kenney with wife Suzanne; as well as many nieces, nephews; great-nieces, great-nephews; and cousins.

She had two wonderful friends, Debbie Thayer Brookings and Maureen Coyne Mehlhorn for whom her family appreciates them always being there for her. She will be remembered as a daughter, sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, sister-in-law and friend. We all loved Tricia for her ability to laugh and her ambition and sense of humor.
