Tracey Harward, beloved Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Niece, and friend, died suddenly and unexpectedly on July 31st, 2024 of multiple injuries sustained as a result of domestic violence.
She was born on December 28th, 1977 in Provo, Utah and came home to her family in Spanish Fork where she resided for the rest of her life. She attended Spanish Fork High School and received her GED. She held many jobs throughout her life, most recently working at US Synthetic.
She loved animals and in her last days was loved and comforted by her dog Lumpy and the family kitten Tibbult (who she nicknamed Cheez-it). We were so happy to have her home, safe, and surrounded by loved ones the last few weeks.
She is survived by her son Jacob Harward, parents Ralph and Lynda Harward, sister Sue Schlegelmilch, brother Jason (Angie) Harward, nieces Sydney Harward, Sadie (Berklee) Barlow, Syrie Harward, and nephews Tyler Schlegelmilch and Casey Schlegelmilch.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents Allen Spencer and Mae Taylor Larsen, Ralph and Betty Davis Harward, and many Aunts, Uncles, and cousins.
