Upon graduation,Tracy worked for years as a staple in the medical field in the greater New Haven area until she ultimately traded in her scrubs to be a full time mom. Tracy was an avid hockey fan, and takes credit for home coaching her New York Rangers to several wins. When not coaching you could usually find her and Andy enjoying their Harley or spending time with their family and her dog “Ranger”. Tracy was known for her wit and had the ability to put a smile on the face of anyone she met. Although her time with us was too short, she leaves us all with great memories and laughs that will last forever.
