On December 31, 2019 Kathleen Margaret Tatum (Tracey) passed away in Altamonte Springs, Florida at the age of 83. She was born to Patrick and Grace Tracey on September 13, 1936 in Omagh, Northern Ireland. Kathleen married Paul Tatum in London in 1956, and they enjoyed 63 years of a loving marriage surrounded by family and friends no matter where their military years took them. Kathleen could most often be found walking the beach and was known for her fierce love for her family, fabulous cooking, love of clothes, and quick wit. Kathleen is survived by three children, Patrick Tatum, Paula O’Shea, and Tracey Barbaree, seven grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and three of her many siblings, Mickey Tracey (England), Owen Tracey (Canada), and Isobel Daniels (Australia). The family will celebrate Kathleen’s life with a private memorial.
