NEW KENSINGTON, PA - We at AndNowUKNow were deeply sorry to hear of the recent passing of Tricia Brown. As a Sales Representative for Yerecic Label, she was a well-respected and beloved member of the team.

As we learned from a LinkedIn post from the company, Tricia was a force to be reckoned with, one I had the privilege to experience on more than one occassion. Described as a “powerhouse in produce,” she always made sure to help her customers with a smile, living up to the customer service that Yerecic Label is known for.

“Our team learned so much from Tricia. Her positivity and her desire to build strong relationships inspired us all to be better people,” Art Yerecic, President, said of Tricia, sharing some of the words he received from her customers upon hearing the news:

• Tricia was a very hard worker. She earned everything she achieved serving our company.
• Tricia was certainly right on top of things but in a fun, enthusiastic way.
• Trica was always so full of life; it is so hard to believe she is no longer with us.
• Family was first and foremost for Tricia. She was always talking about her kids.

“Tricia was a bright light at Yerecic Label, full of life and energy that permeated every corner of our office when she was in Pittsburgh. I marveled at Tricia’s confidence as a Saleswoman, her competitive spirit with the Sales Team and her dedication to provide the best life possible for her children. She is sorely missed by her YL team,” Elizabeth Yerecic, Executive Vice President of Sales and Sustainability, reflected.

Throughout her time with the company, she contributed to Yerecic Label's West Coast growth over nearly 10 years working with the team.

Tricia was not only a dedicated member of the industry, but a wonderful mother to four children. Our hearts go out to them and anyone else feeling the weight of this loss.

“Tricia was such a ray of sunshine and I looked forward to seeing her at all key industry events, even though we’re both local. Her energy was contagious, her smile so warm and she was a friend to all. I will miss Tricia, both personally and professionally. Cheers to you my sweet friend,” Kim St George, Vice President of Sales - West at Dole Fresh Vegetables, shared with us.

Yerecic Label said it is committed to providing ongoing support to the Brown family during this trying time. If you would like details regarding her memorial services, please email [email protected].

Our thoughts and prayers are with friends, families, and colleagues of Tricia. She will be missed.
