Patricia Rose DeLeonardo, known affectionately as Trisha, passed away on October 14, 2025, at the age of 62, in West Long Branch, NJ. Born on March 23, 1963, in Jersey City, NJ, Trisha grew into a sweet and kind-hearted individual who dedicated herself to the well-being of those she loved.
Trisha spent her academic years in Long Branch, attending Long Branch High School before earning her degree from Monmouth University. She built a notable career in accounting and finance, dedicating over 40 years to the field. Her most recent role was with CNI of Oklahoma, where she was highly respected for her expertise and work ethic.
Beyond her professional life, Trisha had a passion for reading, theater, as well as doing puzzles and playing games. She cherished time spent with her family, enjoyed dog-sitting her beloved "mushy mush," and never missed an opportunity to visit the beach or admire lighthouses. Her warmth and generous spirit were evident in her concern for others and her readiness to offer support.
Trisha is survived by her sister, Christine DeLeonardo; her nephew, Jason DeLeonardo and his partner, Vanessa. She was preceded in death by her parents, Rose and Joseph DeLeonardo; and her siblings, Jamie, Victoria, and Joseph DeLeonardo.
A memorial gathering to celebrate Trisha's life will be held at Damiano Funeral Home in Long Branch, NJ on Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 10 am until the time of service at 12 pm. Entombment will follow at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in West Long Branch. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, a cause close to her heart.
