I was blessed to sit at the big table. She always amazed me. Many prayers for the family, much love. Thanks Miss Trish for the memories.

​

My heart saddens at hearing this news. Mrs. Patricia was a fine and generous lady and I always enjoyed eating lunch at the Marina and seeing her. My prayers go out to her and her family and my deepest condolences to them. She will surely be missed!

She had a heart of gold and loved deeply. Such a generous person.

I spent many hours at the Marina restaurants both Barca charter Captain and a Fernandina Beach Police Officer. Patricia had a special relationship with our Police dog “Hassler” and often shared tasty morsels fro the Restuarant , a little known relationship. Gallons of coffee consumed, many conversations and a lasting. friendship that will forever be with me. R.I.P. Patrica bless your soul and rest now as you deserve.

You and your family were so nice and accommodating to our family anytime we came into Marina. You and the Marina will be missed. Rest in Gods Hands Patricia🙏

As a rookie police officer in 1989, Sgt. Denny Bell took me to the Marina Restaurant. That’s where I met Trisha. She looked at me and said she had some work to do. Trisha was the “unofficial mother” to the new officers at FBPD. She taught me—and all of us—about local politics and culture. At her tables inside the restaurant or on the bench out front, we learned how to laugh, how to love, and how to treat people the right way. We never went hungry, and we never faced a problem she couldn’t help us solve with her wisdom and guidance. Over more than 20 years, I watched her be fiercely loyal to her employees, her family, and her friends. Today, I cry—not tears of sadness, but tears of joy—because I know she is still the same person, just in a different place. She was a true landmark in this community. To all of her family: my deepest condolences. Trisha is greatly missed.

So sorry for your loss Trish was always good to me as well as many others rest in peice Trish

So sorry to hear of Pats passing. The Marina was our go to place for lunch for years. re of

Loved me some Patricia. She ALWAYS took care of us and made us feel special. The crew from the News-Leader were always welcomed with with arms and a quick seat at a ‘reserved’ table - or so the tourists thought. I really was sad to have not seen you since the restaurant closed. I was recently with some friends out to lunch and did the Tricia whistle (IYKYK) and everyone started laughing. That whistle probably is stuck inside the minds of former employees and customers who knew she or someone needed something quick. What a great honor it was to call her my friend. Never forget the day she chased some of us down who passed her restaurant and went to Brett’s. We had to come back begging to re-enter her doors. Haha!! Rest in peace Patricia!

Rest in Peace my dear friend. We were both in the Ribault Class of 1969. I always loed to walk in her restaurant and see her smiling face and she always had a hug for me as so I did for her. She will be dearly missed

We came into town in the early 70s. Patricia welcomed us and became part of our belonging. With a warm smile and a place to feel like home. She took great care of “the folks”. Making us feel special with Marina crab dip and always a table to share family time. Patricia took great care of the Fernandina families. In small ways, her welcome became a favorite memory of so many. A very special lady. A true Fernandina friend to many. She will be missed.

Ms. Trish was such a caring and kind woman. I will always cherish the memories I have of her. She was always a fighter for those who needed her help. If you were a friend, then you were family and she always let you know she cared. I’m going to miss running into her shopping but Heaven gained a beautiful soul and wonderful angel. Miss you my sweet friend. See you again someday.

I am very sorry fo hear of Patricia’s passing. She was a great force of nature. Didn’t put up with slackers but such a generous heart. I so missed the Marina when it closed. My Eddie and I started going there in 1980 just before we married. It was our go to place. Eddie and I both thought a lot of her. She was so wonderful to me after his passing. My sympathies to the family and friends who loved her. She will be missed for sure.

Sympathies to the family. She will be missed. She was a force to be reckoned with!

Beautiful lady. You will be missed so much. I was so blessed to have had you in my life. Love you.

Thanks for the years of your friendship. I meant so much by having the Marina as a home away from home.

Patricia, you will be missed!!! Mama and me loved eating at the restaurant, you always had a great menu.... Mama and me loved you too, you are family to us!!!

Will be forever missed and loved.

We’re going to miss you more than before you closed the restaurant. Me, Henry, & the kids always loved coming there. My sister, Annette Acosta, fell in love with it too. We lost my Mom this past week & hope you & she gets together in Heaven.

There was never a more dedicated advocate for downtown Fernandina. Patricia you will be sorely missed.

Im am saddened to hear of Patricias passing. Such a nice woman and great business owner. Many cindolences out to her family.

What a great business owner and friend!

Trish, I was so sorry to hear this sad news. You have always been such a caring and supportive presence in my life. I have so many wonderful memories with you that I will always cherish. Many memories that I will treasure, most started at The Marina Resturant. The place where I fell in love with Hamburgers, with cheese, pickles and mustard. You always made sure I had a plateful of pickles... as a Godmother you did you best to make me feel special. Im glad you got to meet my kids but health kept you away the last few years. I do have some regrets about that. Sending you my love now and forever.

So sad, she was a lovely lady.....may the perpetual light shine upon her

This breaks my heart! So sorry for your loss!We have some great memories of working for Patricia at the Marina restaurant! My you rest in peace 🙏Love hugs and prayers for the family!

May the perpetual light shine upon you. You and all the memories will love on within our hearts. As you said I was your sister from another mother.

Loved Trish-we had some fun girl times back in the 70’s! Beloved member of our community for decades, as owner of The Marina Restaurant. She will be missed.
