She married Dean on June 23, 2001. She bore a son, Joshua, in 2003 and a daughter, Joslyn, in 2008.

Trish "wore many hats" well including daughter, wife, mother, home school and Sunday school teacher, physical therapist assistant, personal trainer, events coordinator, ski school, landscaping, gardening, scrapbooking, and many others. Perhaps she was best known for her sweet, strong, and gentle personality.

Trish loves the Lord and pursues Jesus diligently. She was an active member of First Baptist Church in Durango. The church poured an inestimable amount of love, prayer, and support in to the Walker family during the long battle with cancer. Trish is survived by her father and mother, brother (Rick O Bishop), husband, son, daughter, and a large extended family.

Trish wanted to be remembered as a story of a caterpillar that the Lord changed in to a beautiful butterfly. She loved the outdoors, flowers, high mountain lakes, hiking, biking, and camping.
