In 1999, Tracy moved to Fairhaven by the Chesapeake Bay, where she made her home with her daughter, Erin.

Tracy's lifelong love for animals began early. As a teenager, she worked to ride horses and formed a special bond with a horse named Shane, whom she was eventually able to call her own. A gifted rider, she carried her passion for horses throughout her life. Tracy also provided professional pet grooming and pet-sitting services, known for her natural connection with animals-who always seemed to love her in return. She especially adored her own pets, including her beloved dog, Sassy, and cat, Ricky.

Tracy was a devoted mother, and lived a life full of curiosity and learning, embracing many hobbies and interests over the years. She was an avid reader, a woman of strong faith, and most of all, she cherished time spent with her family and friends.
