She was always the life of the party and friendly to everyone. Her Dad, TP Bob said her performing started as a child. Landslide was her favorite song which she sang at father’s wedding. With or without a microphone she was going to sing and dance, if it was your birthday get ready for a Marilyn Monroe rendition of happy birthday. Tracy loved to travel with family and friends and especially if it involved a beach, ski slope, or a concert. Tracy absolutely loved Elephant Butte Lake where she met her beloved husband Bob. They continued to have fun at the lake boating and jet skiing with family and friends throughout their 25 year marriage. Tracy and her sister Leslie were the first girls to master the standup Jet Ski! The most fabulous trip of Bob and Tracy’s life was a Silver Sea Cruise from Rome throughout the Mediterranean; of course she was invited to sing on stage by the main entertainer. Tracy was an extremely successful Sr. Escrow Officer for over 30 years, she worked hard but was a free spirit with a voracious appetite for life and living it to the fullest. She was always impeccably dressed with her beloved hearts and rings. Tracy and Bob were very involved in the community and fund raising over the years with the Active 20-30 Club, All Faith’s Receiving Home, and most recently the Women’s Council of Realtors. Her relationship with the Lord was very strong throughout her life and illness. She and the family enjoyed going to church regularly. She was very happy Turner and Parker became strong Christians.
