Trish, a native of Oxford, Mississippi and longtime resident of Youngsville, Louisiana, lived a life marked by compassion, creativity, and unwavering devotion to her family and community. A graduate of Berwick High School, Trish carried with her a gentle strength and servant's heart that touched everyone she met. She had a deep love for the simple joys of life-gardening, painting, baking, and cooking for those she loved. Her home was often filled with the comforting aroma of something sweet in the oven-baked with care for the local police and fire departments or shared during one of her cherished Sunday family dinners. These gatherings were her favorite moments, surrounded by those she loved most.

Trish devoted the majority of her adult life to homeschooling her children, guiding them through every grade with unwavering commitment and care. Her dedication to their education was a profound expression of her love, and one of her proudest accomplishments was seeing both children earn full-tuition academic scholarships-a testament to her hard work, perseverance, and belief in their potential.

Trish was a faithful member of the Lafayette Campus of Our Savior's Church, where she served wholeheartedly as a greeter, volunteered in the children's ministry, and participated in numerous outreach projects through Love Acadiana. Her life was a beautiful reflection of grace in action. She planted kindness wherever she went, whether in the form of flowers from her garden, meals lovingly prepared, and the steady presence of a mother whose love knew no bounds. She will be deeply missed by all who had the blessing of knowing her, but her legacy of love and service lives on in the hearts she touched.

Serving as Pallbearers will be Mark Belanger, Landon Mancuso, Greyson Mancuso, Everett Flott, Dontray Flott, and Johann Sathre. Honorary Pallbearers will be Paul Mancuso and Kellen Flott.

The family of Mrs. Mancuso extends their heartfelt appreciation to the doctors, nurses, and staff of both the Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center Emergency and I.C.U. teams for the care, support and comfort through this time.
