Traci Simon, born March 10, 1965, died on December 29, 2025, after a determined battle with cancer. True to who she was, she met her illness with courage and grace, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew her. She is survived by her mother, Leilani; her husband, Cantrell; her brothers, Kevin and Keith; and her daughters, Camille and Julia, who carry her strength and spirit forward each day. Traci is also survived by an extraordinary community of friends and family who supported her throughout her life. Their love, care, and support meant everything to her, and her family remains deeply grateful to each of them. A Celebration of Life is being planned to honor a life well lived and the joy she brought to those around her. Those who were part of Traci's community and wish to celebrate her life are encouraged to reach out to her family for details.
