Hi Michaela
My name is Carl Lorusso, your mom’s brother Michael grew up together and were best friends going through school.
I spent a lot of nights at their house over the years so kind of knew your mom as a younger sister. The truth be known I think she had a crush on me lol.
The one story about your mom was she was a great athlete at school. In fact Tracey and I were the only two kids from Magnetawan Central that won the Parry Sound track and field for top female and male athlete for all of Parry Sound Districk. It was a big deal for our small school.
Although I haven’t seen Tracey since school I still get together with Michael now and then.
What I can tell you is your mom was full of life with a great sense of humour and a wonderful smile. If, and I know she did put the same effort into being a mom as she was a great kid, You had a wonderful mother!!
My condolences to you and your family
Carl

When I was a teenager, I spent a great deal of time at Janet and Leonards home. (Traceys Parents). I was a pretty skinny kid back then and I’d more often than not, have my dinner at my place and then walk or bike the 3 kms to the Ehl’s and have dinner there too lol. I never gained a pound and stayed skinny no matter how much I ate. I spent so much time there that Tracey made a comment on one of her visits home wondering if I was an orphan. She compared me to a starving stray cat hanging around the house and her parents took pity on me being so thin, tamed me and let me in. At some point, I think she tried to scare me off because she kept bringing up her mean cat that didn’t like me or anyone for that matter. I don’t remember the cats name but to me it was Hisser. I was a pretty outspoken kid but there was something about Tracey that I held my tongue for fear of retaliation. I think I would have met my match. She carried herself as a confident and even more outspoken person than I was and I was pretty sure to corner her and her cat being there at the same time would have been a lose lose for me. When I think of Tracey, I always remember blond hair, skinny and tight (like really tight) jeans (Levi’s) and not the orange tabs that I had, it was the reds. I always wanted to try to pick the threads on her jeans because they were so tight, I was certain I could have played a tune with them, much like a guitar but I think I would have only gotten the high notes and a black eye. I think Tracey pioneered the use of the wire coat hanger as a tool to be able to get the zipper done up and there wasn’t a straight coat hanger anywhere in the house. She must have had a panic attack when the plastic coat hangers came out. ( I’m embellishing). Had Tik Tok been around then, I think she would have had a video of one of those standard life hack practices using the coat hanger lol. I remember her white short shorts in the boat picture as well lol. Anyone else wearing those you would have seen their butt checks hanging out. I didn’t have the heart or the courage to tell her she didn’t have a butt. Maybe she did at one time but I think her jeans being so tight, they just displaced it to other areas haha. I see she was a coupon Queen in the write up so maybe she was shopping for herself in the kids section. Back then, there was no tax on kids clothing and if she could fit in them and save a few bucks, why not. Despite the intimidation and scare tactics with her cat, I hung around and Tracey always treated me with the utmost respect. She always kept herself done to the nines and had an addictive and unique laugh that I’ll always remember. My condolences to her family and friends and I’ll always regret not keeping in touch with her and her family.

For all the health issues Tracey had she was always upbeat. She liked to talk to us about genealogy and how far back she had gone in her family history. She also liked talking to Mike about the shenanigans they got into as kids. You always knew when you spent time with her or had a conversation on the phone you would have a smile on your face. We will miss your kindness and humour.

We met Tracey & Tom on a trip to Cuba and enjoyed each other's company. Tracey and I sunning on the beach while Tom was out scuba diving most days. We enjoyed each others company on that trip that we went on 2 more vacations together. So many laughs as Tracey and Tom had such a joy for life and Tracey always teasing Tom. Tracey always had a smile on her face, book in hand at the beach and made spending time with her fun and easy.
Tracey was a beautiful woman and will be deeply missed.
Sending our deepest condolences.

I have so many fond memories of my sister-in-law, Tracey,, many of them are focused around Christmas in Blackstock. Tracey always had a certain smile and look in her eye that told you she was up to no good. Tom was usually the target of good natured teasing as Tracey recounted some crazy thing he had done, leaving us in stitches. She usually punctuated the story with “Tom is such a loon” Tom, of course always had his version which made us laugh even harder. Jessie always loved seeing Tracey because she always had puffy cheesies and would share them. Tracey and I always did dishes after Christmas dinner which gave us the opportunity to catch up. I remember her laugh, the most because it came so easily. My brother was very fortunate to find his true soulmate in Tracey. Family was everything to her and she was so proud of both Tom and Micheala

So many to choose from but one of my favourites was being at her house and being a little wacky. She had no qualms about being blunt and she called me a fruit basket. It may not be the longest memory but to me it encompasses exactly the personality that she had. Not afraid to have fun and poke at others.
She had an absolute love for all of the creatures and critters as well. From Roscoe, to Schultze to the little squirrels that I heard so much about. Just filled with love.
We also have a video where I was egging her on about how when we got Molly home that I'd take her outside with me. Tracey was having none of that and was adamant that Molly was an indoor cat. She could give and receive the jabs and I always loved that about her.
While writing I am remembering maybe the best memory there was. Michaela and I were upstairs and Tracey and her mom were downstairs with Roscoe and Sarah. We just heard screamings of "OH MY GOD!" over and over. Neither of the ladies would answer about what was wrong. They were hysterical and then eventually Tracey yelled out "Sarah just ate all of Roscoe's food!" When she would scream and overreact like that it was always funny but that one we reminisced about with her and it brings a smile to me everytime.
There was also the time that she and Tom were at our house talking about how they played Quest 64 on the Nintendo 64. Tracey reminisced and said she remembers (dead serious) playing on the "Nintendo 65". Just a small slip but it was really really funny to us. She laughed with us and always had incredible spirits.
