TRACY CARSON Obituary
TRACY D. CARSON
Tracy Danielle (Mindick) Carson, beloved daughter and sister, passed away unexpectedly on March 17, 2014. She was born in Washington, DC on April 22, 1962, an Easter Sunday. How fitting that her soul be one of empathy and kindness, that she would spend her life easing the worry and pain of others. Her dedication to seniors and persons with disabilities was formally recognized on October 21, 2011 with the Paratransit Driver of the Year award from Frederick County TransIT. A natural comedian, Tracy brought humor to every situation. From weirdoes in her beauty salon to the perils of homeschooling, her descriptions of our day-to-day human experiences resulted in explosive laughter and lifted spirits. Tracy and her father, Melvin Yudelevit, who preceded her in death in 2011, may well have a stand-up act in that Better Place. Tracy leaves behind her mother, Janis Yudelevit, husband, William "Bill" Carson of Adamstown, MD, and children, Cathryn and Mack Carson (wife Michelle). She is also mourned by sisters, Kathy Graybeal, (James), Tammy Mindick, Linda Sandler and Paula Yudelevit (Steve); brothers, David Mindick (Lea) and Darren Mindick; 15 nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. We ask that you go to www.staufferfuneralhome.com to celebrate Tracy's life with your favorite "Tracy Story" and/or to express your condolences. You can contact the family directly at (301) 774-2218 or [email protected]. Private services were held.

In Loving Memory of you Tracy:
Happy (would be 54th) Birthday
You are Truly Loved and Sorely Missed
October 15, 2015
I miss you a lot today. By this age, I was sure we'd be sharing and talking about our grandchildren.
Now,I don't even know if I'll ever even know about them, much less actually know them, hold them, see you in them.
Some days are definitely harder than others. I know you're surrounded by LOVE up there, of course first and foremost that of Jesus. Also, In my heart, especially with the kids: Erin, Jonathan and Anthony. That of course doesn't lessen having Mel, Dada, Nanny, Grammy, Popper and Joe B.Jr.
Sometimes the tears just come and I'm wiping them off before it even registered I was crying. I pray for your babies (includes Billy),and grands-to-be, I know they miss you too..terribly. I love you Tracy. RIP

Tracy was a bright light in my dim world. We would laugh and cry when we talked while she took me to my doctor appointments. Two days before Christmas my back was really hurting and she walked me to my door and gave me hug. I was so impressed with her unconditional respect and kindness for just someone she drove around on Transit Tracy loved her job and also had wonderful things to say about her co-workers, customers and especially her family. Tracy will be so missed by so many people whose lives she touched. I know God must have needed her in Heaven. When I said we cried together it was when I told her about all the deaths in my past five years and especially passing of my husband and she cried with me sharing my pain. I hope my words will comfort all of you as she comforted me. God Bless all of you and help you pass through this darkest of losing such a bright light

We shared hugs and kisses,
laughter, tears, and wishes.
Birthday surprises from uncle Bill,
and photography assignments with Cath, Mack, and me on a hill.
We lost contact for a while,
but never once did I forget your smile.
Now I'm sitting here,
surrounded by old pictures...choking back tears.
So grateful that God shared you with me,
but hurt that He took you back so suddenly.
For uncle Bill, Cath, and Mack my condolences, my love, and my prayers for you.
To aunt Tracy, I love you too! <3

One Last Kiss
I have fought the feelings
And emotions inside
That fills and empties me,
Like a fast rolling tide
There are moments of pain
Of sorrow and hate
Leaving me to ponder.
Many hours of late
I love you honey.
It's your presence I miss.
And I terribly long
For that one last kiss
But the greatest pain of all
That hurts me so deep,
Is after giving you my love
I can't have yours to keep
To have you by my side
Always longing for more,
And have you feel the same,
To mutually adore
You see my love; I have given you my heart
And revealed the depths of my soul
And now I am left feeling hopelessly empty,
Paying this immeasurable toll.
It's selfish I know
to feel this way
But it's how I feel,
each and every day
Always hoping and praying
For the next time we meet
For you to allow me, once again
To feel complete
And rest assured
I WILL see you again
For it's not a question of if
But a question of when.
And when that time comes
I'll be in total bliss
For no longer will I wait
For that one last kiss.

"When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh.
It's a hug sent from heaven from your loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop lands upon your nose she's added a small kiss as fair as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you with a feeling of sweet love it's a hug sent from heaven from that someone special up above."
I love you so very much.I am going to forever and always miss you Tracy Carson. Your going to make a beautiful angel!
Love your face! :')

I still have the angel you bought me which hangs from my rear view mirror, well another angel has gotten her wings and entered the pearly gates in heaven and we will be missing her here on earth. Rest in Peace Tracy! With loving memories! Love, Evie Bowie

She drove my elderly father to and from dialysis on several occasions. My parents always told me how sweet and kind she was each time she drove dad. She would even get their mail from their mail box because they couldn't. She showed them such kindness and made them feel cared for. They asked me to pass along their deepest sympathies. They described her as one of the sweetest, kindness and caring people that they had ever met. She made a difference in the lives of those she met. I also had the pleasure of meeting her a few times and instantly liked her. Her sweet smile and disposition were so heartwarming. Praying for your family during this difficult time.
