Patricia M. Sebra

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Patricia M. Sebra (née McCollum), affectionately known as Trish, on August 10, 2026, at her home. Born on January 22, 1965, Patricia’s life of sixty-one years was marked by generosity, compassion, her sweet nature, and unwavering love for her family.

Trish’s journey was guided by her deep-rooted devotion to those she cherished most. Her heart was broken this time last year, when the love of her life of almost 40 years, David H. Sebra, passed away suddenly. She met her to be husband, at the very young age of 16 and she knew right away, he was the one. Dave was a hard worker for his family and loved them unconditionally. Trish's nurturing and kind spirit encompassed her role as a mother, treasured by her children Jessica Malinowski (Bob), Dave (Alyssa), and Joe. She was proud of both her children and her beloved grandchildren:Travis, James, Melanie, Emma, Jayden, John, and Bentley, each of whom held a special place in her heart. 

Family was central to Trish’s world. This started as a child growing up in the close knit McCollum family. She adored her parents, Charles "Chuck" and Catherine (nee Moll). They raised their large family stressing, family always came first. Their home was where everyone gathered for holidays, birthdays, support, and a place to get a great big hug. As a beloved sister to Danielle Sullivan (John), Kevin (Annie), Kelly (Tim), Matthew, and Dennis; Trish’s warmth and kindness resonated in every gathering, every shared smile. She is reunited in eternal peace with her parents, brothers Kevin and Dennis, and her niece Amy Altarelli, whose loss she deeply mourned but whose love continued to inspire her.

Trish worked for Best Auto Tags starting at the age of 16. She worked from 1981 through 2015, greeting everyone in a sweet and kind demeanor. She was funny, artistic, created beautiful wood art, could make anyone smile, and loved being in the sun! Trish also loved anything she did with her family, especially, vacations, days at the pool, and getting matching pajamas at Christmas! 

The mark on all the lives Trish encountered is indelible. Her laughter echoed through family celebrations and quiet moments alike. Her unwavering belief in the goodness of others brought hope and strength to all who knew her. In both joyful triumphs and moments of hardship, Trish’s steadfast presence was a source of comfort and reassurance.She gave her love freely and her kind and gentle nature overflowed to everyone she encountered.
