Patricia Ann Zabarsky

(Quaker song played at our wedding October 26, 1985)

‘Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,

‘Tis the gift to comedown where you ought to be,

And when we find ourselves in the place just right,

‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

Tricia was a loving, teaching mother to Jessi and Claire. She was a photographic model, key line artist, owner of TC Productions and a motion picture production manager on local and national television commercials. She was early and skilled in computer programming.

Tricia was an avid reader, good dart player, enthusiastic ice skater, and had a strong connection to the numinous. She was a quick-witted firecracker and an excellent speller. Tricia was a creative artist with a passion for music, photography, dance, cinema, ceramics, and theatre. She had a deep love for the natural world and walked many national parks in Ohio, Arizona, and California, and elsewhere.

Tricia’s art talents were exhibited at many Cleveland art festivals, and she had a gallery showing her photography of the Cuyahoga River bridges.

She was the beloved wife of Hob Zabarsky, treasured mother of Jessica Zabarsky and Claire Zabarsky, eldest sister of Ellen (Ralph – deceased) Cox, Jim (Karen) Cocita, Charles Cocita, Thomas Cocita, Florence (Scott – deceased) Krebs, Therese McCann, Michael Cocita and Marianne Marshall. She was predeceased by her parents Vince and Florence Cocita.

Family suggests memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

A gathering of family and friends to share memories will tentatively take place in March 2027.
