Mary Patricia "Trisha" Perdue Cooper, 59, of Salisbury, Maryland suddenly passed away on November 4, 2025, in Salisbury, Maryland. She was born on July 19, 1966, to Emma Mae Perdue and David Justice.

Trisha was a member of Parkside High School class of 1984. She achieved her CNA in 2003. She was considered "The favorite bus driver" for many children throughout Wicomico County during her 26 years of driving the school bus.

Trisha met many amazing friends during her tenure working as an EMT at Life Star Ambulance. She enjoyed volunteering at the Pittsville Fire Department. She was a "Patriot", and a big fan of Mickey Mouse and The Washington Redskins!

She would spend as much time as she could with her four precious grandchildren, Delilah, Richard, Roger and Vincent, who meant the world to her. She loved to spend time riding around with her mini-me, Tori, listening to music and playing Pokémon Go. Trisha enjoyed her time at Rockawalkin Church in Hebron, MD with her special friend, Susan Chamberlain.

Her legacy will live on through her family who she was so proud of, her oldest daughter, Elly Shahan and her twin boys; the one that kept Meme laughing, Richard and her cuddle bug Roger Barker; daughter, Tori Shahan and the one who made her a Meme, Delilah Shahan and her newest angel, Vincent McCargo; her one and only  Son-shine, Andy Shahan; a brother, Robert Hall (Debbie);  her nieces and nephews: Allen John, Nikole, Wyatt and Savannah. She cherished every moment she spent with her beloved grandchildren. Trisha will always be remembered for her vivacious smile, positive attitude and infectious laugh. Rest in Peace Trisha, there is no more pain for you, the countless lives that you have touched will forever cherish your memory.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Emma Mae Perdue, her father, David Justice and her brother, AJ Perdue.
