Tricia Twitchell died May 13, 2014, and was buried in Princeton Cemetery wearing her prized Class of 1981 Reunions jacket.

Tricia was among a long line of distinguished Princetonians dating back to Jonathan Edwards, third president of the University. Tricia was born in London to Marian and H. Kenaston Twitchell ’24. She settled in Princeton in the 1970s, where she worked at Firestone Library for 28 years, commuting across Nassau Street to her Palmer Square apartment.

During Tricia’s years at Firestone, she extended her hospitality to many student workers. To honor the friendships she established with several members of the Class of 1981, she was named an honorary classmate, a distinction of which she was most proud. After retiring from Firestone in 1999, Tricia moved to Stonebridge in Skillman, N.J., where she resided for the rest of her life.

Tricia was a member and deacon of the Nassau Presbyterian Church and also volunteered for many years with Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic. Classmates who knew Tricia appreciated her wisdom, warmth, and humor. We will miss her.
