Patricia Janet Jordan

November 18, 1964 - February 5, 2022

It is with profound sadness that the family of Dr. Patricia (Trish) J. Jordan announces her passing on Saturday, February 5, 2022, at the age of 57. She was a loving and devoted mother to Zoe, her greatest source of pride and joy. Trish is predeceased by her mother Patricia Mallan Jordan and is survived by her father, Peter Jordan, stepmother Ellen Jordan, four sisters Seonaid (husband Glen), Nicole (husband Gordon), Sarah-Kate (husband Darcy), and Melissa, along with other relatives and friends. Trish passed away peacefully alongside her loving cats. Trish was born in Hamilton but grew up in Calgary where she worked at FWJ as a creative writer and received her BS from the University of Calgary. Then she moved to the United States to complete her MA and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Rhode Island. Upon completion of her Ph.D., she moved to Hawaii where she worked as a research consultant, grant writer, and director of research for many years. She will always be remembered for her brilliance (Mensa member), sharp and timely wit, enthralling trivia and game nights, compassion and love of animals (Maxwell, Rigby, Revolution, Abbey, and Sarge), admiration and knowledge of all things related to the Beatles, and her over-the-top memorable Oscars parties. She continually conveyed kindness, generosity, wisdom, creativity and inspired all who knew her. She was a remarkable woman who will be deeply missed, but never forgotten by those who had the pleasure of knowing her. We love you, Trish. “She’s not a girl who misses much…” A Celebration of Life will be held as a private intimate gathering. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the World Wildlife Foundation.
