Patricia "Trish" L.

Rock

Patricia L. Rock, “Trish” age 79, passed away November 10, 2026, in Cleveland, Ohio peacefully and surrounded by her family. She was born October 21, 1947, in Spangler, Pennsylvania to Paul Westrick and Helen M. (Stolz) Westrick. 

Trish devoted her life to caring for others, serving as a nurse at Lake East Hospital for more than 29 years. She concluded her nursing career as a dispensary nurse with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. 

From the whitewater of Ohiopyle to the dusty sands of Egypt, Patricia traveled far and wide, returning each time with great stories and treasured keepsakes. She enjoyed watching movies and spending time with her friends and family. She loved each of her nieces and nephews and filled her home with pictures and memories of them. 

Saying she enjoyed reading would be an understatement. If a book was about World War II, she’d finished it and returned it to the library before you could ask whether she’d liked it. Her knack for commonly using words you’d never heard before, and wouldn’t hear again except from her, can surely be credited to her love of reading. 

Trish is survived by her sisters, Judith Bailey, Diana Fogle, Helen (Cathy) Mertens; her niece, Brenda (Michael) Smith, her nephews, Mark (Lorene) Fogle, Glen (Terri) Fogle, and Kevin (Megan) Fogle; and many more nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Margaret Adams, Malvina Weekland, Carol Baker; brothers, Paul Westrick, Eugene Westrick and Richard Westrick. 

Funeral Mass will be offered at Saint Gabriel Catholic Church. Details regarding the date and time will be shared soon. The family will lay their loved one to rest in Patton, Pennsylvania. 

A cancer survivor herself, Trish cared deeply about others’ fight against disease.
