After battling many illnesses, Patricia Renee Ficken, age 47, of Lincoln, Missouri passed away Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at Carnegie Village in Belton, Missouri. She was born to Curtis Dale Ficken and Nadine Mae (Findley, Skaggs, Ficken) Cretel. Fond memories and condolences may be left online at www.vansant-millsfuneralhome.com .

She enjoyed making people laugh and her presence alone created an atmosphere of love, laughter and comfort to those who were in need. Trish was quick-witted, fun-loving and spunky. She enjoyed singing, spending time with her friends, nephews, nieces, sisters and brothers-in-law and many other family members. She was always up for a good time which could look like a tractor-pull, monster truck show, road trip across town, going fishing, hunting or wood working. She was talented with crafts and enjoyed receiving home-made gifts. Trish was a sentimental soul which allowed her to relate to a variety of people. Once you met her, you fell in love with her and she left a footprint on your heart.

She was preceded in death by her father, Curtis Dale Ficken and she leaves behind her sisters Connie Sue (Skaggs) Wickham and Nicole Marie (Ficken) Green, Brothers-in-Law, David Wayne Wickham and Edward Daniel Green, her three nephews, Ryan David Wickham, Matthew James Wickham and Daniel Wayne Wickham and her two nieces, Samantha Christine Green and Reese Danielle Green.
