Thank you so much for sharing your stories, smiles, memories, and most especially your love!

Tracy was such a light at Grove. She was a friend and a "work mom" to so many of us, even when she was going through so much. She helped us with health issues, yes, but it was her caring and love that really helped the most. She went above and beyond in everything she did and is greatly missed. Her strength and kindness will always be remembered.Tracy was such a light at Grove. She was a friend and a "work mom" to so many of us, even when she was going through so much.

Tracy and her family were our neighbors when she lived in Texas. First time I met her she was so friendly. Her kids and mine were close in ages and would play together. That day I met her she stopped to introduce herself and told me Joey had flushed down a $100 bill and that Barry had hired a plumber hoping to retrieve it. After that Joey and my son Ernie were inseparable. She was the first one to see the potential my daughters had for them to become nurses (and they both did). She encouraged them and they saw her as a role model since she was their school nurse. We loved her, respected her for being so down to earth and a humble human being. Fly high Tracy! God bless your soul.

Tracy was a one of a kind, absolute rockstar of a human being! Walking into the nurse's office at Grove to see her with a smile on her face and a story to tell was the highlight of many work days. I particularly love the day she sent me home from work on the day of the parade after the CUBS won the World Series. We had received notice from the district that sick days needed a doctors note for that day, personal business days needed to be approved two weeks in advance, etc. Basically, don't take off work to go to the parade. I went down to see her at lunch and was running a fever. She walked me into the principal's office and told him "I'm sending her home. She has a fever of 103." And that was that! I went home. No room for questions or refusal! You didn't mess with Tracy and health care. That's just who she was and we loved her so very much!Tracy was a one of a kind, absolute rockstar of a human being!

Tracy fought a long, incredibly brave battle with cancer, yet she never let it dim her spirit. Even on the toughest days at work, she always had a smile on her face and brought so much warmth and light to everyone around her. Her strength was truly inspiring. Rest in peace. Your beautiful smile will never be forgotten. I will miss you!Tracy fought a long, incredibly brave battle with cancer, yet she never let it dim her spirit.

Tracy taught me to be health and goal oriented, but most importantly, she inspired me to be the best version of myself. Tracy performed every role of her life to the best of her ability. She was a great mother, school nurse, cook/baker, instructor, decorator, etc. I will always remember and be grateful to Tracy, who was like a second mother to me growing up. Love you always, rest in peace ????????Tracy taught me to be health and goal oriented, but most importantly, she inspired me to be the best version of myself.

Doctor we miss you alot. I remember when Rachel brought me over to the house and you had the entire table with countless meals and sides ready for all of us plus your kids. You were so smart, so bright, so kind and humble above all. I’ve always admired you and part of me wanted to reach your successes and strengths. You did it all, plus more with a cherry on top. Rest well doctor, you’ve always been loved and always will be!Doctor we miss you alot.

Tracy’s kindness touched countless lives. As the nurse at Grove Junior High, she cared deeply for every student who walked through her door. I was a very shy student from 2010 to 2013, so I was amazed when I returned to work at Grove years later and she remembered me. That simple moment spoke volumes about the kind of person she was—someone who made people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
I will always be grateful to have known her, first as my school nurse and later as a coworker. Tracy’s compassion and the difference she made in so many lives will never be forgotten.Tracy’s kindness touched countless lives.
