Tracy V. Mellor, 41

WORCESTER - Tracy V. Mellor, 41, passed after a long illness on September 17th surrounded by her family and friends. She leaves her beloved son Victor J. Jewett of Worcester and her loving mother Julia Parretti of Uxbridge. Tracy also leaves behind her brother Bradley G. Daigle, Jr., her sister Linda M. Mellor, two uncles John and Edward Barszcz, an aunt Linda Grennon of Florida, and five nephews. Tracy was predeceased by her father, Victor Mellor, who she loved dearly, and by her uncle Stanley Barszcz.

Tracy leaves behind many friends who will miss her more than words can say, and who will always remember her for the kindness she showed to everyone, and for the amazing laugh that made you know when she was coming into a room. Tracy lived by two simple sets of rules: "Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never ever regret anything that made you laugh." And "life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain."

Tracy accomplished a lot in her short 41 years. She worked for the Worcester School Bus Company as well as running her own small business: T.T.S. - Tracy's Tax Solution, which was located on Chandler St. in Worcester.

Tracy's family would like to extend a special thank you to three of her close friends who stayed by her side throughout her illness: Patty Sanders, Jose Feliciano, and Khloe, as well as to everyone who participated in the Tracy Mellor Benefit Fund.

Services for Tracy were held under the direction of Graham, Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors 838 Main St. Worcester, MA.
