Patricia Eileen Pectol

Patricia Eileen Pectol passed away on Wednesday, March 9th, 2022, in Toquerville, UT. Lovingly known to family and friends as Trisha, she was born December 16th, 1981, to Trevor and Tina Jackson, the youngest of eight siblings. In her early childhood, Trisha’s family lived in Southern California until moving to St. George, Utah in 1994. While in high school, Trisha trained as a phlebotomist, quickly progressing to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. She married her High School sweetheart, John Pectol, in September 2003. After giving birth to her first child, Trisha blossomed into one of the finest mothers of all time. Trisha was always there for her children and available for a quick word of guidance & support. She dedicated the rest of her life to raising her children and being active in her community. Trisha loved to help her children develop their talents. Paige and Katie excelled at dance and Trisha took them on trips around the country to compete. She was also dedicated to her son, Joey’s, soccer games, who also competed across the state and Johnny’s golf tournaments. She became a Girl Scout Leader and was a role model not only for her daughters, but to many young girls in Southern Utah, teaching and molding them to become great leaders and upstanding citizens. Trisha was a great leader herself and served as the President of the Girl Scouts of Southern Utah Leadership for several years. Later, balancing volunteering in the Parent Teacher Organization, taking her children to school, after-school classes, violin recitals and other activities, she returned to school herself and completed her degree in drafting in 2019. She started a business with her husband, drafting house & building plans for clients in Southern Utah. Somehow, she also found the time to serve for two years as the President of the Washington County School District’s Community Council. Trisha loved the outdoors. Most summers you could find her in her garden, camping at the Gifford Family Property, taking trips to national parks, or just bonding with her family. To say that Trisha was the heart and soul of our family is not adequate. Tremendously kind and helpful, Trisha was always available for advice, a shoulder to cry on, and her constant, unwavering dedication to her family and friends. Trisha is survived by her husband, John, and their children: Paige, Katherine, Joey & John Wyatt; her parents (Tina and Trevor); and sister, Christine (Mark) Shumate. Not to mention a host of relatives and close family friends. She will always be loved & missed in all her capacities: Wife Daughter Sister Aunt Mother Student Mentor Graduate Leader Friend Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 18, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. at the Toquerville LDS Chapel, 63 N Toquerville Boulevard Toquerville, UT.
