Trisha DeRosa

Patricia Lee DeRosa, 41, of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away unexpectedly on June 25, 2025. Patricia was born on June 2, 1984, to John and Sherie “Charlton” DeRosa in Hanford, California. Patricia lived a life filled with joy, humor, and unwavering love for those around her. She brought light and laughter into every room she entered. With her quick wit, brilliant mind, and fearless embrace of her quirky self, she reminded everyone to live boldly and unapologetically. Her boundless positivity and zest for life were contagious, and she made it her mission to live each day to its fullest. Patricia’s greatest love was her daughter, Natalie Day. There was not a day that went by that she did not think of her.

Patricia lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, chatting with friends and family, snacking, and spending time with her nieces and nephews. Patricia had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way.

She was predeceased by her parents, John and Sherie DeRosa; her niece Gabby; cousin Kristen; and all four of her grandparents.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Natalie; sisters Jaime “DeRosa” Williams and Diane DeRosa, and brother Royden Charlton. She left behind a circle of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who will miss her dearly.

She also leaves behind her cherished friends and coworkers at Tyson Foods, who will remember her for her warmth, humor, and the joy she brought to every workday. Her presence was a bright thread in the fabric of their lives, and her absence will be deeply felt. Her memory will continue to inspire everyone who knew her to live with authenticity, laughter, and open-hearted love—just as she did every single day.
