Once she made up her mind to do something, there was nothing that could stop her from making it a reality. Tracy was incredibly creative, making crafts, cross stitching, and doing embroidery. Her green thumb was evident to all who saw her beautiful daylilies, daisies, and vegetable gardens, she nurtured and poured her heart into. She worked hard to can all the fresh flavors of the vegetables from her garden. Tracy loved to search for treasures and good deals while out thrifting. She valued her time to do a little retail therapy while shopping. Tracy was intelligent and impressed others with her excellent photographic memory. Tracy had a fierce spirit, embracing life to the fullest and making a difference in so many people's lives.
