She also worked as an intern for Mode Magazine in Australia. Tracy lived in New York for thirteen years and was an actress and model before establishing a career in fashion design and marketing. She moved to Cleveland a year and a half ago. In this brief time, she impressed many with her energy, creativity and zest for work. She became a board member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum where she served as a member of the development and induction committees. She was also chairwoman of a panel planning a women's fashion show at the museum next fall. As a member of the board of trustees at the Cleveland Play House, she worked with a group last month that filled the lobby with 57 Christmas trees, including one of her own creation. Tracy had great flair, but also possessed a caring and giving attitude that will long be remembered.
