Patricia A. O’Horo Wilson 1945-2024

Trish was born and raised in Youngstown, daughter of Angela and Wilbur O’Horo, and a 1963 graduate from Cardinal Mooney High School. She was a trailblazer, beginning her career as a receptionist at Xerox Corporation and rising to the ranks of a regional VP. After having her beautiful daughter Megan, she moved to Fairfax, Virginia and worked at The Washington Post, where she stayed for many years until retirement, when she moved to Front Royal, Virginia.

No matter where Trish lived, her home was always a place for family and friends and a favorite place for gatherings, including weddings. Everyone was always welcomed and made room for. During the holidays her home was known as the neighborhood “Griswold” house.

She was predeceased by Bud Wilson (husband), Megan McCartney (daughter) and Michael O’Horo (brother), and is survived by Terry O’Horo (brother), Helen Gillespie (sister), Dorothy O’Horo (sister-in-law), Brigid Gillespie (niece), Debbie Gillespie (niece), Cristine Kinross (niece), Allison O’Horo (niece), Debra Harris (niece), Tammy Haidze (niece), Nicholas Mulkey (nephew) and Puggy Boo (her beloved dog).

There are no calling hours. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
