It is with deep sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Patricia Marie "Tricia" Wolowicz following a sudden health event.
Born on March 23, 1978, Tricia's greatest joy was the life she built alongside her husband, Todd - her best friend and the love of her life. They grew up together, became high school sweethearts and were married for over 25 years. They raised two sons, Christopher and Timothy. Tricia treasured being a mother and never missed the opportunity to cheer them on, especially from the stands of their baseball games.
Tricia earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and graduated summa cum laude from Franklin University. She spent her free time traveling, and trying new cuisines. She was a talented baker, and also graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. Tricia crafted beautiful custom cakes for special occasions. She loved hosting family, whether for holidays or just a random summer night to make s'mores around the campfire.
Tricia had an impressive 28-year career at Uyemura International, most recently as Corporate Inventory Manager, Manager of the Tech Center office, and Logistics Coordinator for the company's major trade events. She took the time to gain a deep understanding of customers and their needs.
Tricia will be remembered for her knowledge and organizational skills in efficiently managing a high-energy office environment. She continually showed concern and active support for colleagues, customers and suppliers.
Her dedication to our company's essential mission was unwavering.
"Tricia was a trusted Uyemura employee. I will deeply miss her ability to multitask and keep me focused. She had a tremendous passion for this company and was one of the key individuals responsible for the remarkable growth we experienced during her 28 years of service with us. She was truly someone who helped keep the facility running smoothly, and often volunteered to take on additional responsibilities whenever they arose. Tricia will be greatly missed."
