Tracy J. Boyle

1969 - 2016

DOVER, N.H. – Tracy J. (Hall) Boyle, 47, of Dover died Wednesday December 28, 2016, at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Tracy was born in Keene, N.H., on September 24, 1969, the daughter of Richard and Jane (Aron) Hall. Tracy attended Keene High School graduating in 1988. She was a Keene State College graduate Class of 1993. Tracy was active in music and theater, keeping those talents through her life and alive in her home. She possessed a warm voice range having once performed a shimmering solo piece still recalled glowingly by her family. The amazing piece was Ride On-, King Jesus. Please King Jesus, take Tracy to your side.

She was a legendary baker, creating and preserving family recipes passed to her from her grandmother. A seamstress without boundaries, she designed clothing and accessories for her children and her home.

Tracy was raised working in her family business, Sunset Tool, Inc., serving there as a bookkeeper before marrying and relocating to the Seacoast. Since settling with her husband in Dover, N.H, in 1998, Tracy worked in the University of New Hampshire system for the last 18 years, serving most recently as Director of Finance and Administration in the Facilities Business Service Center.

Tracy possessed the remarkable trait to connect with any individual, on any situation or topic, allowing her to befriend everyone with whom she made acquaintance. Shy and unassuming as a young girl, her personality blossomed to a self-assured and confident woman with an innate sense of fairness and respect. Tracy served as a Girl Scout Leader for many years, sharing her camping passion with young girls, teaching them life skills and equipping them with talents to stand independently. Creative, generous and giving, her spirit will continue to soar in the lives of her daughters; and with both those she loved and the innumerable folks who continue to love her. In keeping with her spirit of generosity, it was Tracy's desire to grant life beyond her own, establishing herself as an organ donor. Through this gift of her humanity others will experience renewal of life and its beauty.

Members of her family include her loving husband of 18 years, Kevin Boyle; her beautiful daughters, Abigayle Boyle and Elayne Boyle; her devoted parents, Richard and Jane Hall of Keene; her caring brother, Matthew Hall and wife Kathleen, and his children Cody, Cooper, Madison and grandson Declan of Keene. Tracy is survived by her maternal grandmother, Constance Aron of Keene, and her paternal grandfather, Edward Chabot. Tracy has numerous aunts and uncles, cousins and extended in-laws, having come from and married into large families, who are all saddened by her sudden departure. Several far-reaching communities will experience loss by her leaving so soon, with many selfless acts yet to have been fulfilled.
