Tricia McCall, age 55, of Wayne NJ, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a brain aneurism on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.

Tricia was born in the Bronx, New York to the late William and Andrea Conroy and was raised in Suffern, New York. She attended Sacred Heart Elementary School, Albertus Magnus High School, and completed her senior year at Suffern High with the Class of 1984. She played sports and was involved in various clubs and activities.

Tricia worked at McDonald’s in Suffern during her high school years. After college, she worked at Datascope of Montvale NJ, where she met her future husband and love of her life, Eddie McCall. She took time off to raise her beloved children, Danielle and Christian. In 2012, she re-entered the workforce at the Ready Set Grow pre-school in Wayne and worked alongside her best friend, Alicia Disteso. Following this, Tricia’s passion for cooking led her to pursue a career at Wegmans Grocery in Montvale NJ, where she has worked for the past four years.

Tricia was an avid reader of mysteries, drama, murder mysteries and her favorite author was Tom Clancy. When it came to going to the beach, she had to have a hardcover book and when driving she was always listening to an audiobook. Tricia McCall was a selfless woman and always put the needs of others before her own. She was a dedicated and devoted wife, mother, sister, daughter in-law, co-worker, and friend. She will be lovingly remembered as a big Star Trek Fan, thrill seeker, and a great cook who was willing to cook or eat any new recipe. She was very social and loved going out for a Girl’s Nights with her best friends. Tricia loved spending time with these friends and enjoyed activities like ceramics, having a wine night, painting, or even a trip to Atlantic City.

Tricia loved to travel, and her favorite destinations included the Caribbean and especially St. Lucia. For the past fifteen years, the family made annual President’s Day week trips to St Lucia where many family memories were made. Anyone who knows Tricia will tell you she was going to be late. She always set her clocks 15 minutes fast to ensure that she was only 30 minutes fashionable late. Tricia will be remembered for being her children’s biggest (and loudest) fan at their sporting events. Whether it was football, lacrosse, or soccer, she didn’t miss a game and was always dressed in the appropriate jersey or shirt to show her team support.

After Tricia and her husband Ed met while working at Datascope, he decided to take her out on a date. After their first date at the Capitol Grill in Paramus, they fell in love. They married on December 12, 1998 at The Estate at Florentine Gardens in River Vale. They then honeymooned for three weeks on the French Polynesian Island of Bora Bora in the South Pacific. Tricia and Ed have enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage of twenty-three years that was blessed with two children and endless memories and laughter.

Tricia was a longstanding member of Our Lady of Consolation and taught Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) for several years. Her devotion to others is exemplified by her organ donation with the New Jersey Sharing Network. Tricia was a registered organ donor, and this resulted in the continued life of three strangers. She selflessly gave gifts to also help over one hundred individuals in need. Tricia has, is, and always will be our HERO.

She was the loving wife of Edward McCall; devoted mother of Danielle and Christian of Wayne, NJ; she was the dearly loved sister of Lynda Kelly of Airmont, NY, Kathleen Mallon of Harriman, NY, and Michael Conroy of Suffern, NY. Tricia was a family woman and a loving daughter-in-law to Angela and Charles McCall and sister-in-law to Michael and Suzanne McCall, and Annamaria and Tom Reilly. Tricia loved her 9 nieces and nephews.
