Tracy Ann Kelley, 68, of Newington, Connecticut, passed away suddenly after complications related to multiple medical conditions.

Born and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut, Tracy was a proud graduate of Hall High School. She was known for her strong work ethic and loyalty, spending an extraordinary 45 years working at Wampanoag Country Club, where she began working at just 15 years old. Over the decades, she became a familiar and beloved presence to coworkers, members, and friends.

Tracy will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her loyalty to those she loved, and the many lasting relationships she built throughout her life and career.

She is survived by her devoted partner of 40 years, Donald Swanson; her brother, Martin "Scott" Kelley; her son, Jimmy Swanson; her daughter, Kelley Duffy; and her beloved grandchildren, Bridget, Austin and Margot Duffy.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Maryann Berry Kelley; her father, Martin Kelley; and her sister, Kathleen Kelley.

Tracy's memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched throughout the years.

Dear Mr. Swanson

You do not know my husband and I, but we knew your wife very well, as we were longtime members of Wampanoag. We remember her there as a teenager , with her mom, and I must say, Tracy never changed. She was cheerful, helpful, and a wonderful girl, and woman all around. Definitely our favorite waitress at Wamp.
I am sure that personality shone through at home and with her family as well.We send you and the whole family our sincerest condolences. You will miss Tracy very much. We wish you strength, and want you to know we are happy to have known her.
I would have loved to come to her funeral, but my own health is not cooperating with that.
Very best wishes from
Joep and Marijke van Huystee
