Tracy was beautiful, not only on the outside but the inside as well. Although incredibly stubborn, she has a gentle soul and loved and devoted herself to her family and friends. She loved being outdoors, playing games, watching and listening to sports, her favorite team was the Reds and the Bengals and was their fan even when no one else was.

She loved all children, and could make any child love her, it was a gift she had and passed it on to her daughter Leanna. Her strength and determination went to her daughter Megan, Tracy worked very hard her whole life up till the day she left us, Brooke her youngest daughter got a little bit of every part of her mom, her looks, attitude, her motherly ways and sense of humor.
