Patricia (Trich) Mullane

“I’m kind of a big deal.”

Patricia (Trich) Mullane, 58, passed away peacefully Thursday, November 20, 2025, at Taylor House Hospice surrounded by her family. Trich’s passing leaves an unmistakable mark on the lives of all who knew her. Witty, fierce and armed with a dry humor that could light up even the hardest days, Trich had a rare gift for cutting straight to the heart of things - often with a perfectly timed remark that made everyone laugh. Her presence was bold, her loyalty unwavering and her love genuine.

Trich's sharp mind and quick wit were matched only by her deep compassion for the people she cared about. She had a way of making others feel seen and understood, offering both honesty and comfort in equal measure.

She is survived by loved ones who adore her, learned from her and will miss her fiercely.

A celebration of Trich's life will be held to honor her legacy and the humor, courage and spirit she brought into the world. All who knew her are invited to remember a woman who was wonderfully unapologetic, deeply loved and impossible to forget. Please join family and friends from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. Friday, December 12, 2025, at Moberg Gallery, 2411 Grand Avenue, Des Moines.
