Tracy Yukich

I only ever talked with Tracy by phone and instant message (I work at DeVry in Colorado) ~ what I will always remember about Tracy is her incessantly upbeat, optimistic, uplifting, cheerful personality. SO saddened by her passing.

I remember Tracy as a darling enthusiastic College student at Saint Xavier, so engaging, so kind, so sparkly!
so gracious. She was so loved by her parents, siblings and by faculty who enjoyed so much her positivity
about everything. My sympathies to her parents Michael and Carol and her family and all who loved her.

Dear Yukich family,
It was my privilege to be Tracy's friend for over 40 years. We met at H-F and became part of a group of friends that spent a lot of time together. Tracy was always a force for good in the world--a gentle spirit, a kind person, a great sense of humor, a writer of wonderful letters, a curious and caring friend. I don't know a more positive person. She even got me one of my first jobs--as a clerk at Crown Books in Homewood. I have not seen her nearly as much in recent years since moving to NY, but I will miss her and think of her often. I cannot believe I am writing even writing this. I was so sad to learn of Tracy's passing. You have my deepest condolences.

I met Tracy when she worked at Crown Books in Homewood. She was so knowledgeable on book sources. I also attended St. Xavier University with her. Had many conversations with her and enjoyed every moment. It has been years since I have spoken to her and regret I couldn't have continued reaching out for conversation. Tracy, you will be missed.

Having spoken numerous times with Tracy for nearly 20 years, I can confidently say that she was a wonderful soul. There's so many flattering adjectives that come to mind to characterize her: dedicated, energetic, positive, optimistic, cheerful, caring, uplifting, unselfish, sensitive, empathetic and delightful. I'll truly miss the camaraderie and laughter we shared.

I send my deepest condolences to Patrick and the family. Tracy was a good person and pleasure to work with and know.

Tracy was truly one of a kind! She lit up every room she walked into with her sparkling personality. She had this wonderful way of making others feel special and cared for always. I will never forget you Tracy. I am glad I had the honor of knowing you and being your friend. "Hey ohhh!"

I was so fortunate to be a colleague of Tracy's at DeVry University for over 13+ years. She was the kindest soul, with such a bubbly and warm personality. She will truly be missed by so many friends, family, colleagues and students. May you rest in eternal peace Yukie.
