Patricia "Trish" Lynn Panos

Our hearts are heavy as we share the passing of Patricia “Trish” Panos, 74, of Bel Air, Maryland, who left this world peacefully on November 26, 2025. Born in Baltimore, Trish was the devoted wife of Pete Panos, the loving mother of Albert Hartman Jr. (deceased), Tammy Hartman, Todd Hartman and his wife Colleen, and the cherished mother-in-law of Patricia Hartman.

Trish’s greatest joy was her family. She poured her entire heart into her grandchildren, Ryan Nelson and his wife Kirstin, Matthew Hartman, Alex Hartman, Nicholas Gugliuzza, Andrew Gugliuzza and her great-grandchild Layne Nelson, who brought her endless pride. She is also survived by her beloved grand-dogs, Rocket and Scooter. She is preceded in death by her parents and her son, Albert Hartman Jr., whom she loved beyond measure.

 Trish was the kind of woman whose love changed lives. She lifted people up, offered comfort without judgment, and made every person feel like they belonged. Her laughter was unforgettable, full, warm, and able to brighten the darkest days. Her gentle touch could calm any storm. She was a mother, a protector, a guiding light, and a safe place for so many.

 She loved life’s simple joys, scratch-offs, casino trips, golf, skiing, and traveling to places like Niagara Falls and the Bahamas, but nothing compared to the moments spent with the people she loved. Every sacrifice she made, every meal she cooked, every hug she gave was rooted in the purest love.

 Her legacy is one of strength, loyalty, and unwavering devotion. She taught us that family is everything, that kindness matters, and that love, real, unconditional love, is the greatest gift a person can leave behind. 

Though our hearts are broken, we find peace in knowing she is finally at rest, reunited with those she missed so dearly, and watching over her family with the same love that guided her throughout her life.
