Tracy OVERHAUSER Obituary

OVERHAUSER, Tracy Lynn Tracy went to the Light on May 18, 2015, after a long journey with multiple sclerosis. Born October 13, 1963, Tracy was the youngest of 11 children of David and Mary Overhauser. Her parents and brother David preceded her in death. Raised in Spokane, she was Valedictorian of her Ferris High School class. She graduated with honors from Whitman College. Tracy is survived by nine siblings: Cerena Lauren (formerly Mary Lou), Terri Holmes (Rod), Judy Overhauser-Duett (Chuck), Tom Overhauser (Julie), Linda Mahmood (Ken Lewis), Dan Overhauser (Brenda), Debbie Marchand, Cheryl Bostwick (Joel), Randy Overhauser and numerous nieces and nephews. Tracy was especially proud to have continued contact with her son, David, whose adoptive family remained connected. We are especially grateful for the years of wonderful care Tracy received from staff at North Central Care Center. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Friday, July 31, at 11 a.m. at St. Ann's Catholic Church, 2116 E. 1st. Private interment will follow at Greenwood Memorial Park Cemetery. We love you, Sweet Sister.
