Patricia Marie Bracknell

Patricia "Trish" Bracknell, age 58, went home to be with the Lord, April 16, 2013 in the comfort of her home in Mesquite, Nevada. She was born September 15, 1954 in Nassau, The Bahamas to Bud and Nan Hartel.

Trish grew up all over the United States as her family moved frequently. She graduated from Marion High School in New York. After high school she served her country with pride by serving in the US Air Force. After a short stint in the US Air Force, she made her home in Idaho Falls, Idaho where she worked for the US Postal Service.

On June 15, 1991 she married her soul-mate, Garvie "Bish" Bracknell in Libby, Montana. Trish received her Bachelors degree in Computer Aided Drafting from ITT Technical Institute. She enjoyed snow-birding to California where she built many happy memories. In 2008, Trish and Garvie happily settled in Mesquite, Nevada where the community quickly grew close to her smile. Trish was fond of her new found family at Calvary Chapel.

She enjoyed camping, the ocean, being with her family, making bead jewelry, and delivering happiness through the Word of God. She will be remembered for her strength, perseverance, selflessness, and love for the Lord.
