TRACY GALLA Obituary


Tracy Denison Galla  
September 2,1962 - July 26,2021  Tracy Galla passed away just short of her 59th birthday in the arms of her beloved husband of nearly 30 years, Leonard Galla, at the Novato Community Hospital near their home in California. She had suffered for many years the progressive and cruel deterioration of Multiple Sclerosis without complaint and with a full and giving heart that warmed all in her orbit. Tracy leaves behind two beautiful daughters, Taylor (25) of Minneapolis and Claire (22) a student at Scripps College, her devoted husband, Leonard, her dear sisters, Heather and Dolly, and their families, her devastated parents, Barbara and George Denison and her amazing friend and caregiver, Luisa Villasenor ... not to mention countless friends who knew and loved her. A small memorial service in Novato will honor Tracy at Thanksgiving and, in Bethesda, the Denisons will hold a celebration of her life at a time to be determined. Gifts to honor Tracy's too brief time with us may be made to Halleck Creek Ranch for Therapeutic Horseback Riding, 1740 Old Rancheria Road, Nicasio, CA 94946.
