Trish was born on November 26, 1962 to Charles “Charlie” and Odelia “Dee” (Henkel) Reifschneider in Scottsbluff, NE. Residing in Gering most of her childhood, she attended Northfield Elementary and Gering High School, graduating with the class of 1981. She was baptized and confirmed in Salem Congregational Church.
Trish’s love for horses began at a young age, participating in events at The Saddle Club with her mother and father, brother, Rod, and sister, Pam. She carried that love with her throughout her life and was working on instilling it in her littlest of family members.
In November of 1992, Trish and her former husband, Jay Steinle, welcomed their daughter, Paige Logan. Anyone who knew Trish, knew Paige was her greatest joy and that their inseparable bond was truly one of a kind.
In May of 2015, Trish re-married the love of her life, Brad Hall, in a beautiful back yard ceremony at their home. Together, they continued to grow their love for horses and the western way of life, participating in events from ranch rodeos to barrel racing. Trish and Brad gained new titles as “Grammy and Peepaw” when they welcomed their grandson, Brant Charles in 2021 a followed by their granddaughter, Reece Kennedy in 2023. These two were Grammy’s heart and soul and she loved them beyond measure. Their mommy will make sure that Grammy lives in their hearts forever.
