She was gorgeous inside and out. Her spirit was infectious and she loved everyone she met. I´m at loss of words for understanding why Traci had to leave us so soon however I know she is safe in the arms of Jesus. Until we meet again enjoy glory land.

We loved Traci. Randy and I met her years ago when she was at Hair on Main. One day, I was having a "hair fit" so I decided to just walk in the shop to see who might work on me. It was Traci. Boy, was that encounter a blessing. I got both a great haircut and fabulous shampoo AND we made a lifelong friend. We followed Traci as she moved to various shops. We looked forward to seeing her when we were at the beach, both for haircuts and to catch up. We so enjoyed hearing about her family; such a beautiful family. She always wanted to know about ours. She cheered when we had good news and prayed when we faced trouble. Over the years, she also cut my mom's hair. What a precious soul she was. She loved the Lord, her family and her clients. She will be truly missed.

I am another snowbird that loved Traci very much. She looked forward each year to seeing me and other friends from South Shore Villa. Traci shared pictures of her new space and was excited to have us all come to get our hair done and have a few cocktails!
Gone too soon- she was a beautiful soul.

I am so sad to hear about Traci. She was such a sweet and special person. I was one of her snowbird customers and loved how she always smiled and how easily we could talk about anything. My prayers go out to her family who she loved so much.

As a snowbird my sister and her friend from Michigan have gone to Traci for many years. I was fortunate to meet her and had her do my hair for the first time last year. She was a talented stylist and colorist and an incredible person. She spoke so fondly about her girls and husband and was so excited about the new baby girl due in October! She texted me and said she would send pictures She will be missed
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers to her family Marianne
