Theresa “Tracy” Stoller went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, April 12, 2026. She was born on March 25, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, to Marcia Brennan and the late Richard Gerald Brennan. She grew up in Southern California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before attending Wheaton College, graduating with a degree in Sociology. After graduating, she moved to Fort Wayne to marry her college sweetheart Brent Stoller, with whom she spent 41 happy years.
After raising four wonderful children and seeing them off to educations and careers of their own, Tracy went back to school, earning a Master’s Degree in Library Science from Indiana University. She worked as a librarian at Taylor University, Fort Wayne, Indiana Tech, and Fort Wayne Community Schools. Books and learning were Tracy’s lifelong passions; passions she passed on to her children. She was also a member of the Cherokee Nation and sought to keep the Cherokee language alive.
Tracy is survived by her husband, Brent; her children, Amy, Jacob, Madi, and Bethany; her mother, Marcia; and her siblings, Ric, Suzy, Catherine, Carolyn, Kit, Rebecca, and Steve.
