Tricia A. Lambright Mayo Obituary (1971 - 2017)

Tricia A. Lambright Mayo, age 46, of Erie, passed away on Friday, August 25, 2017, after a courageous battle with pulmonary hypertension and cancer. She was born on January 28, 1971, the daughter of William and Martha Lambright. Tricia graduated from Strong Vincent High School in 1989 and received a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Edinboro University in 1993. She had worked at Sarah Reed Children's Center before her illness. Tricia loved sports, her favorites being the Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Cubs. She loved spending time with her family, her flower garden and enjoyed eating out at restaurants. Tricia's most prized possessions were her four cats, Mitzi, MacKenzkie, Sammy and Snuggles. Ten years ago Tricia was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and began her life's battle. Her strong will to live life to the fullest, her amazing strength, and her deep faith in God carried her far beyond the expectations of her doctors. She did not complain about her health and continued to worry about her family and their needs right up until the day God called her home. Her faith, love for her family, and her will to survive were just part of what made her such an extraordinary person. In addition to her parents, Tricia is survived by her devoted husband of 15 years, Brian L. Mayo, whom she married May 4, 2002. She is also survived by her sister, Jennifer Curry (Jeremy) of Erie; nephew and godchild, Zachary Curry; stepson, Darren Mayo (Cara) of Waterford; stepdaughters, Sarah Deak (Zolten) of Arcadia, FL and Alanna Rahman (Aminur) of Erie; and step granddaughter, Evangaline Boga. She also leaves behind her lovable Cavalier King Charles dog, Phineas. Tricia's family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Ross Peterson, cardiologist and Dr. Joseph Leone III for their excellent care and compassion during Tricia's illness. The family would like to encourage others to consider the value of organ donation. Family and friends are invited to call at Dusckas Funeral Home, 2607 Buffalo Rd, on Tuesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., and are invited to East Erie Assembly of God Church, 2653 Saltsman Rd, on Wednesday with a viewing at 10 a.m. until the Funeral Service held there at 11 a.m., with Rev.
