Tracey grew up in Butler, New Jersey, graduated Butler High School in 1981, and worked in the field of printing and graphic design. After high school, she lived in Bloomfield, NJ and later relocated to South Florida in the early 1990s. Being an avid fan of the Miami Dolphins, Walt Disney World, and the warm weather is what kept Tracey in Florida. She was a fun-loving, free spirit personality who enjoyed being with her friends, traveling, and attending concerts. At the time of her death, she had three dogs that she loved and cared for very much, and cared for many other dogs and cats over the years.
Tracey is survived by her sister, Michele Rensvold, her husband Peter and daughter Jillian of Malta, NY; by her sister Cynthia Templeton, her husband John and children Darren and Arianne of Kinnelon, NJ; and her brother Timothy, his wife Andreia and children Christopher and Priscilla of Dunwoody, GA. Also, surviving is her long time friend and roommate Marlene Granda of Hollywood, FL. Tracey was pre-deceased by her parents Edwin (2001) and Mildred (2010).
