Tracy was a kind and caring person who would do anything to help someone in need. She worked for Elkhart Community Schools in the Career Center for many years. Tracy enjoyed what she did there and loved to make sure the children who attended school were well taken care of from providing them with food or snacks to donating coats. She had a welcoming personality and a smile that could light up the room. Tracy was very social and was never a stranger to anyone.
In her spare time, she enjoyed seeing her children and grandchildren. They were her entire world. Tracy would often take her grandchildren out to the zoo and spend time with her family on the beach when she would visit her son. She will be dearly missed by her loving family and many friends.
