During her quest of higher education, she gave birth to her daughter Mary George Gipson whom quickly became her crowning achievement.
Trish and her family moved to Huntingtown MD in 2004.

As director, she coordinated numerous fund raising events with local businesses and a variety religious organizations within Calvert County. She was a mainstay in local charities and has been attributed to organizing the Empty Bowl Supper, the Project Echo Turkey Trot 5K Run, and the Roast of Paul Eason.
In 2015 Trish shifted her focus to spend more time with her daughter and to travel to Florida to care for her ailing mother alongside her sister Teresa.She was predeceased by her mother, Bridget T. Riggs
