Trish was a wonderful familyfriend. I will miss her dearly
Kaylin my granddaughter was like hers. She inspired the love of reading In her. We spent many wonderful times together. Always in my heart my dear friend.
Unfortunately, I never met Ms. Tillman. She bought our house in Kennesaw 1178 W Mill Dr in 1989 and lived there apparently until she passed away. She kept the house so beautifully, saw the photographs in the real estate advertisement.
Wish I could have bought it but I’ve been living back in Germany since then. Apparently, she was well respected abd loved!
Q: How did you meet Patricia?
A: I worked with Trish at NCHS for 18 years. She was a fantastic teacher who was truly a student advocate. She loved the kids and they loved her! Trish was one of the most loving, caring people I’ve known. She was quick with a smile, a hug, an encouraging word and could turn the gloomiest day to sunshine. Trish was lots of fun. At out of school gatherings, she was definitely the life of the party. Trish, you will truly be missed; it was my honor to have worked with you and to have known you.
Condolences to your family. Trisha was an amazing educator and a good friend while we taught together at North Cobb HS. She inspired and influenced all that she taught and worked with. A truly beautiful soul. She is much loved and sorely missed.
