She graduated from Ocean City High School and the University of Delaware. Tracy was a loving, compassionate woman full of life with a love of music, dance and theater. She was a scriptwriter for television. She loved to write. She was working on two books at the time of her death. Additionally, she collaborated with dance companies with hundreds of terrific ideas for dance presentations.
