Tracy WRAFTER Obituary

Tracy's family are heartbroken to announce her unexpected passing at Victoria General Hospital. She leaves behind her parents, John and Simone, daughter, Riley (Chad), sisters, Tara (Mark) and Tanya (Steve), and her nieces, Madison and Lauren.

Tracy was born in the Bahamas and spent the first fourteen years living her young life to the fullest in the Caribbean and then moved to BC.
Graduating with a graphic arts degree in 1989, she went on to excel in the newspaper industry. She also enjoyed volunteering at Big Brothers and Sisters, Communities in Bloom and the SPCA as a foster Mom in various communities across BC.

Tracy was one of a kind; beautiful, clever, creative, kindhearted and had an unmatched sense of humour. She was a friendly face to all and accepted everyone. She especially loved animals and no dog could pass her without a cuddle.

Life, at times, was difficult, but she always knew she had the unwavering support of her family who loved her dearly. Tracy was so proud of her daughter, Riley, and was looking forward to welcoming her first grandchild in January. Tracy and her father had a special bond and their weekly coffee visits will be greatly missed by her 'Pops'.

A family mass was held in her honour at Our Lady of Fatima Church on November 14th. A celebration of life to follow in the spring.

So very sorry to hear about Tracy. I knew Tracy through my daughter Sarah, a roommate for a short time in Victoria. My condolences to the friends and family of Tracy, especially John who helped me with his kind heart when I lost my Sarah.

I remember a little girl with a winning smile and a sense of adventure skiing with her little sister Tara and us across the golf course in Hudson Quebec in the late seventies. Simone and John, my love and condolences go out to you.

I've struggled with what to put here. I have so many things I want to say, my heart is screaming to be heard, but I don't know that this is the place for any of that so I'm going to try to keep it simple.

Tracy was one of the best friends I ever had and maybe the closest I've ever come to finding a soulmate. She got me in a way that very few people have, and I like to think I got her too. It always felt like that anyway.

I feel absolutely gutted every single time I have to remember that I will never get to see her smile again, hear that wonderful laugh again, share a moment with her again. There are memories, sure, but not enough. How could there be enough?

I love you, Tracy. I miss you.

My deepest condolences to all of her family, friends, and everyone else struggling with this loss.

Tracy was my "sister from another mister"... We spent our days together as coworkers and our evenings together as friends.. She loved my kids and I loved hers. When we met, her kids were the 4 legged type, Tia, Tuck and Steven... A few years later she added a little 2 legged sweetie and named her Riley.
I have so many wonderful memories that I will forever be grateful for... I can picture the 2 of us in my Livingroom... Me reading our horoscopes and Tracy rubbing one of the dogs ears.
It shatters my heart that we will never get another chance to belly laugh into the wee hours, we will never get another chance to drive around with Tim McGraw blaring while we sing along and most of all, we will never get to discuss what big dreams she has for her new grand baby. She'd have some huge ones!
I hope her parents, her sisters and Riley know how much I am thinking of them and I hope that somehow Tracy knows how much I'll miss her

Tracy was a beautiful person. She loved her daughter Riley, dearly. She was admired her 'baby girl'. If you knew Tracy then you knew she had a great sense of humor, and an infectious laugh. I remember Tracy asking me to take Riley to school in the mornings when Riley was in kindergarten and it was a honor that be a part of their routine in that way. Tracy you were a beautiful soul and I know you will have comfort and joy watching Riley become a mommy from above. I can only imagine how proud of her you must be

My heart is broken for all of you. I had so many great times with Trac and will cherish every memory. Her and I were attached at the hip as coworkers and spent many nights chatting about everything and nothing until the wee hours. She was my bestie and will forever be one of my favorite people.
I don't have many photos, which is strange considering we worked at a newspaper and always had a camera with us... But I took this pic when she was pregnant and showering off her belly...
