Damaris L. “Dee” Tracy, an 86-year-old resident of Shawnee Mission, KS, died at her home on Friday, Aug. 13, 2004.
Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2004 at the D.W. Newcomer’s Sons Overland Park Chapel in Overland Park, KS. Burial was in the Johnson County Memorial Gardens.
Mrs. Tracy was born on June 18, 1918, the daughter of G.W. Ridley and Daisy Tucker. She was a 1936 graduate of Laredo High School.
She is survived by her husband, Dean C. Tracy of the home; three children, Douglas, Christine and Mark; a sister, Beatrice Sobotka; a sister-in-law, Evelyn Tracy Burton; five grandchildren, Teresa, Lisa, Kimberly, Jessica and Joanne; and five great-grandchildren, Christine, Jonathan, Olivia, Braeden and Caleb.
Although small in stature, Dee was a giant in her family’s eyes. A woman who truly understood unconditional love, she loved her family with tremendous depth and conviction. She was unwavering in her belief that her family came first and went to great lengths to teach us all compassion, humility and empathy for others. A brilliant woman, Dee taught each of us to think with not only our heads, but also with our hearts. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel at her passing. She was a great woman, a tremendous human being and we have all become better people because of her loving and charitable influence. Thank you, Lord, for giving us Dee and her wonderful life, and may she rest in peace with you now and forever.
