    My heart is heavy and hurting for all of the Conville families. I had the privilege of meeting Tricia many years ago through her sister Eileen; one of my very best friends, I soon knew why she was so loved and admired by her siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family members. She was a woman who gave all her love to her family; a woman with great integrity and respect for all. An educator whom I’m sure will be missed by many of her colleagues. An overall sweet, kind and loving human being. Tricia, your journey has been long and hard fought with the strength and perseverance that you lived by. Go in peace now and fly high, keeping watch over all of those who love you, til you meet again. With deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to all of the Conville family. Much love,
    Paula

    Irene became my “Auntie Irene” to me when I was small and Aunt Grace , Debbie and my mother Mary went over to visit Irene and all her and Jack’s kids . I’d never seen so many kids and all the love Irene had for each one. I always felt like part of the family and am so sad for the entire family and especially my cousins Debbie and Charlotte for the sadness they feel for her loss. Tricia , you’re in the loving arms of your mother now. Rest in peace and God Bless

    Tricia was a leader among her fellow students in the Northeastern MBA. She was smart, funny and always practical, as we faced various academic hurdles. She went on to teach at NU for many years, as she held a number of responsible leadership positions and broke new ground in the area of distance learning. I feel fortunate to have called her a friend. She was the glue that held us together and will be greatly missed. Sincere sympathy to her family.

    Tricia’s smile was always a joy to see when we saw each other at Jeannette Neill’s dance classes. Sending condolences to the friends and family of my sweet and thoughtful friend.

    There was nothing like Tricia’s smile and hugs when she would arrive to my Zumba class. Her energy and joy she got from dancing in class always filled my heart.
    She was such a wonderful person and I feel so blessed that I was able to call her a friend of mine. She always had such supportive and comforting words for me in any situation. She is so very missed. May all of her beautiful memories help comfort you all during this difficult time. Sending my thoughts and prayers to all of Tricia’s family

    Tricia was such a wonderful person. We enjoyed our walks at the bog with her and Buddy. She will be missed by all who knew her.

    Tricia was generous of heart, a dear sister, aunt, friend, a force of nature and a remarkable teacher….a profession she dearly loved to the end as she submitted her last grades just weeks before her passing. She loved dancing (having performed with her studio members), cooking (all those holiday dinners with family and friends), her family and her dear Buddy (although she said she never would have pets!)
    I was privileged to know her for over 40 years, live with her for 5, and share many life experiences. You will be sorely missed.
    May you rest in peace, my dear, dear friend.?
