Trish had so many yarns, it seemed she had been every where and done everything. She never lost her grounding, and valued everyone.
Thankyou so much to Chas, Trudy, and families for sharing Trisha's heart with everyone she loved.'Now listen' We hear no more.
Rest in peace TrishOctober 28, 2025 10:08 pm
We will sadly miss our many Jersey stories Trish of your much loved family farm life in the Western District. Your connection to country people was significant ; your contribution in time , care and concern for others always shone through and we give particular thanks for your volunteering in the Korumburra Uniting church Op Shop ,and catering events. Always on hand to offer help and a kind word. Your ability to connect with both young and old certainly always came from your heart. Thank you for your mentoring of emerging dairy farmers and particularly in the area of cattle showing and breeding. You have certainly left a positive mark and attitude that anything is possible in life with hard work, commitment and dedication.

Yes handing out how to vote cards with Trish at Poowong was definitely an experience and one that will be sadly missed.

Condolances to Patty's family on the sad news of her passing. Patty often popped in to visit my late parents Don & Margaret Devlin of Korumburra. Don was Patty's cousin & they loved reminising about their younger days for hours. She always had a smile, always positive & loved a good chat whenever we caught up.
RIP Patty

“Trish McCraw was a champion of the Monash electorate and a dear friend of mine over two decades. Trish loved her family and her friends. She was deeply passionate about South Gippsland, particularly Poowong and Korumburra. Whether it was the CWA, the show society, the footy club or even a national movie premier, Trish would be all in. Often starting with a familiar refrain of ‘Now, pet’, Trish would always have a story to tell, a funny joke or a caring word. While Trish was a daughter of Western Victoria, she contributed so much to our Gippsland region and there are many people she made a positive and lasting impact on. On behalf of the Monash electorate, Trish will be deeply missed.”

I will never forget Trish for many reasons. But the fondest memory was at Poowong on a federal election day when we were both handing out ‘how to vote’ cards for candidates from different parties. It was a cold wet day and Trish went home briefly and came back with a thermos of hot soup and toasties for us.
Condolences to all her friends and family.
