Born Jan. 11, 1964, in Elwood, Tricia was the daughter of Terry and Toni Miller Ayres.
After graduating from Manchester High School in 1982, Tricia went on to further her education and received her associate’s degree in hotel and restaurant management. After graduation she got a job in Atlanta, Ga., at the Hyatt Hotel, where she met her future husband, Richard Robinson. Tricia and Richard were wed on Jan. 29, 1990, and were married for 17 years. Even after their marriage ended, they continued to raise their children together.
Finding her career niche in food services, Tricia and Richard managed the restaurant at Rozella Ford Golf Course in Warsaw for many years. They later returned to North Manchester to manage and own the MainView, where Tricia designed and created the menu.
Tricia was a loving and kind spirit who relished in her time spent with those she loved. She went out of her way to help anyone in need, often putting their needs above hers and preached kindness to those around her.
