Tracy E Crawford

Tracy Ellen Crawford (née Carl), 59, took her last, Earthly breath on Sunday, May 17, 2026, surrounded by the love of those who cherished her most. Born on August 5, 1966, Tracy lived a life rooted in love, resilience, and family. She was the kind of person who made people feel at home. Whether she was hosting holidays, gathering loved ones around a table, or creating memories in her favorite places she loved so much, Tracy had a way of bringing people together. The ocean was one of her happiest places. She loved sailing, shelling, traveling the world, gardening, crafting, enjoying mountain view’s, hiking and spending time with the people she loved most. She found joy in life’s simple moments; warm sun, family gatherings, adventures, and making a house feel like home. She poured herself into caring for others and created traditions and memories that will continue through the generations she leaves behind. Tracy carried a strength that those closest to her knew well. Even through life’s hardest moments, she met challenges with determination and honesty. She often reminded those around her, “It is what it is,” and “Nothing’s easy”, simple words that reflected her perseverance, practicality, and ability to keep moving forward no matter what life placed in front of her. Above all else, Tracy loved her family fiercely. She leaves behind her soulmate, Steve; her daughters, Kathrynn (wife Troi) and Morgan (fiancé Luis); her father, William; her stepfather, Art; her stepmother, Linda ‘Duffy’; her stepchildren, Zach (wife Julia), Hillary, and Stefany (fiancé Matt); and her beloved grandchildren Harley, Julia, Haydn, Carter, Rowan, Emmett, and Theo. She is also survived by her siblings Chris (wife Leslie), Tim (wife Brittany), Amy, Jessie, and Beth; her nephews Tyler, Charlie, Connor, and Trigg; her nieces Maya, Nora, and Teagan; her two Shih Tzu’s, Bailey and Nevaeh; along with numerous cousins, extended family members, and friends whose lives were touched by her love, presence and her free spirit. She was welcomed in Heaven by her beloved mother, Maureen, her heavenly granddaughter, Delaney, her Grandparents, and her cousins whose memories she carried close to her heart. Though our hearts are broken by her loss, we know that love like Tracy’s does not disappear. It remains in ocean waves, in holiday traditions, in meadows that bloom, in seashells collected on the shore, and in every memory shared by the ones who loved her. A Celebration of Life will be celebrated at a later date Forever loved and Forever Missed. To sign her guest register or to leave online condolences please visit www.shikanyfuneralhome.com.
