Trisha Lynn James, 53

Trisha Lynn James, 53, of Columbia Falls, passed away March 16, 2022, at the home of natural causes.

She was born on Jan. 6, 1969, in Othello, Washington, to the late Gary Dale Roberts and Patricia Evelyn Roberts (Personett).

Trish was a homemaker. She loved her two daughters and two grandkids; they were her pride and joy! She took great pride in being the greatest Nonna she could, and always helping and teaching them all she knew and more. She also cared for the family's small farm consisting of three giant dogs, a couple horses and grand pups and cats. Trish had a true love for animals. She also had spent some time previously helping elderly in the recreation field, showing her heart every time. She believed in God and the cross. Trisha will be especially remembered for her love, kind heart and selflessness she had in her.

Trisha is survived by her loving husband of 13 years, Brad James; daughters, Heather Rhine-Nace (Tiffany), Amber James (Jessica), and Samantha Weber (Les); sister, AJ Role (Don); grandbabies, Sylas Rhine-Nace and Barleigh James; nephews, Ayden and Brandon Role;

in addition to her parents, Gary Roberts and Patricia Roberts (Personett). Trisha was preceded in death by daughter, Cassandra Rhine.

Services for Trisha Lynn James will be held privately at the convenience of the family.

A celebration of life will happen this summer sometime.

In lieu of sending flowers, please make donations in her name to the Flathead Animal Shelter or Humane Society. She would love that — just like she loved her fur babies.
