Former longtime Rumsonite Patricia “Trish” Sullivan passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Jan. 24. She was 80.

“She was always known as a friendly and caring woman, with a robust network of dear friendships including close lifelong friends from the local area. Having raised four children in Rumson, Trish was a well-known parent throughout the community establishing strong connections and friendships with her children’s friends and families. A gardening enthusiast, Trish enjoyed spending time working in the garden and being an active member of the Fair Haven Garden Club for many years. She was also an avid swimmer and treasured spending time at the beach, especially at her beloved Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club (MBBTC). For all of her hobbies and close friendships, her greatest joy was family. She often cooked for large family holiday gatherings at her home. The backyard of her home at 100 Bingham hosted many barbecues, football games, and family celebrations.”
