Our beautiful daughter, Tracey Lee Lynch, passed away peacefully with her family and her favorite pet, Peanut by her side, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Thursday, December 10, 2015 at the age of 34 years. Tracey was born on January 6, 1981 at Drumheller, Alberta, and was raised and received her schooling at Red Deer. Tracey loved and embraced each moment of life with all her heart. She was very passionate; and always had a special connection with animals of every kind. She loved her chosen line of work as a ‘Dog Sitter’. Despite her struggle with severe illness, she had many years of happiness and adventures with her beloved Peanut. Tracey loved to travel and experience new adventures. A particular highlight was a vacation with her family in Hawaii; a very special time for her and a cherished memory for her family. Tracey's faith in God enabled her to leave this world with dignity, grace and a sense of serenity and peace. Tracey’s beautiful heart and kind spirit will be deeply missed but she will be forever remembered by all who loved and knew her. Tracey will be lovingly remembered by her parents, Jim and Barb Lynch, her brother, Cory (Max) and her friend and partner, Judd Senicki. She will also be sadly missed by her two grandmothers, Willie Lynch and Helen Yost; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. Tracey was predeceased by her grandfathers, Fred Yost and Tom Lynch, and uncles, Tim Lynch and Bob Yost. A Celebration of Tracey’s Life will take place at the Parkland Funeral Home Reception Centre, 6287 - 67 A Street, Red Deer on Saturday, April 23, 2016 between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. In honour of Tracey's life and memory, we reflect on one of her favourite quotes, "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how" (Nietzsche).
