Trinkie was known for her loving and protective nature, her independence, sense of humor, outspokenness, and most importantly her strength. She had a passion for spending time with her two granddaughters who meant the absolute world to her. She also loved to read murder mysteries, enjoy a good cup of coffee, and spoil her Chihuahua, Jack, who was attached at the hip 24/7.

Trinkie is survived by: her best friend and husband, Raymundo Avila; her daughters, Adrianna and Saylah Avila; mother, Venus Hornsby; father, Richard Hornsby; sisters, Rebecca (Christopher) Merrill and Ashley (Jesse) Perez; great-aunt, Pamela Hocker; and her granddaughters, Devony Avila-Willett and Alliannah Avila-Willett.

It was an honor and privilege to know Trinkie and her presence will be greatly missed. May she rest in the peace and comfort that she truly deserves.
