Tracey Gilbert Obituary
Aug 30, 2025
Beloved wife of Christopher Bonn; loving mother of Lindsay (Juan Ramon) Sierra Santovena and Matthew (Rachel) Bonn; cherished grandmother of Maya and Rafael; dear sister of Gail (Steve) Lange and Barrie Gilbert (Steve Foster); also survived by numerous loving nieces and nephews. Tracey was a graduate of Williamsville North High School and Bowling Green State University. Tracey loved golf, tennis and playing cards, but cherished most of all her role as Gigi to Maya and Raf. She was the President of Delaware Park Womens' Golf League and served on the Board of Governors at Buffalo Tennis and Squash Club. Tracey loved kayaking in the water off Waverly Beach Ontario, as long as she didn't have to paddle. Her favorite place was always the "twinkle" in the water off Waverly and has expressed often her desire to become part of that twinkle. She also requested no wake or funeral, which we will honor. A Celebration of Life will be held at an upcoming time to be announced.

Dear Bonn Family,
I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss. Tracey & I worked in fashion jewelry together for many years, & she quickly became my "work Mom". She was an amazing person and always so fun to be around. I´m lucky to have known her, and I´ll always remember her with great fondness. May she rest in peace. Continued prayers for you all.

So incredibly sorry for your loss. Our hearts ache for your entire family. But the wonderful love that you all show for everyone will get you through this. I thank the Lord for giving us enough time with Tracey that she was able to watch our beautiful children get married. She will always be there with you whenever you need her. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing.

I was blessed to have worked with Tracey on the Northland Workforce Training Center when she worked for what is now 34 group. We worked side by side for about 2 years. We had a great time working together. Tracey was a ray of light and would always talk about her beautiful family. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. I was shocked to hear about her illness and passing. Prayers and love
