Patrica (Trisha) Acosta, 56, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, aunt, friend, passed away into God’s Loving Embrace on January 19 2024, in San Antonio, TX. She was surrounded by her family whose love lifted her spirit after a valiant fight against cancer. She was born on January 26, 1967 in San Antonio Texas, the daughter of Pedro Rodriguez Jr. and Teresa R. Blaney. Born and raised in San Antionio, she lived an extraordinary life, full of love and adventure that always centered around family. She attended Clark High School where she met her future husband Robert, whom she married in 1986. They welcomed their daughter Christina that same year, becoming a devoted mother who relished their time together at home and school. She was a celebrated cook within the family, having learned the art from her grandmother which she shared passionately with family at gatherings throughout the year. Those gatherings were incredibly important to her and she went to great lengths to prepare the house and plan the perfect menu for all her family to enjoy. Some of her fondest memories involved her time as a teacher at Heintz Preschool (of Congregation Agudas Achim) where she found the love of teaching art and met life-long friends. Although she remained a resident of San Antonio, she was an accomplished traveler having had adventures across much of the US, Mexico and Canada and further afield to Europe and Africa! Above all else, she cherished her time spent with her beautiful daughter and beloved grandchildren as they brought her the greatest joy in life. She went to great lengths to attend every practice, game, recital, program, and graduation and was often the loudest voice in the crowd cheering them on. She kept them close to heart in her daily activities as their love and support were her driving force. She will live on in all of our memories. Trisha is preceded in death by her grandfather Pedro (Poppy) Rodriguez Sr. and her brother William A. Blaney Jr. She is survived by her loving husband Robert Acosta, her daughter Christina Carmona, Son-in-Law Matthew Carmona, her grandchildren, Alex Carmona, Andy Carmona, Gracie Carmona, her parents Pedro Rodriguez Jr (Yvonne) and Teresa R.
