Patricia Paniczko, 67, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2025 in Newport News, Virginia. She was born on September 18, 1958 in Washington, D.C. She is predeceased by her parents, John and Theresa Paniczko.
Trisha was an amazing artist who particularly loved painting pet portraits. She saw beauty in everything around her. Trisha’s paintings of butterflies and flowers were remarkable.
Her passion for art was accompanied by her love of travel and exploring the world. This love of traveling was well suited for her career at a major airline. Trisha once flew to Paris just to have lunch with her friends from work. Her everlasting optimistic outlook on life was truly an inspiration to others.
Trisha will be missed by her friends and family. She is survived by her sister, Maggie Wilbur, her nephews, Matthew Wilbur and Jeffrey Wilbur (Doreen) and her great niece, Sophia and great nephew, John.
At the family’s request there will be no service at this time.
