Tracy was united in holy matrimony to Garry Henry in 1991 and in 1996 they proceeded to have

of Tracy's deepest affections. Not only to see new destinations, but to create unforgettable
memories.

retirement, Tracy wanted to become closer to God & strength her walk with Christ. She became a
member of Liberty Community Bible Church under the leadership of Pastor Henry Tarver. She

Tracy played multiple roles in her time with Liberty's congregation. She was known as the
"Announcement Clerk" who would read the weekly announcements during service to keep
everyone informed on upcoming festivities and additional services. She was also the orchestrator
of the Liberty
Community Bible Church Facebook page where she would post pictures from church activities,
dates & times for upcoming events, and sermons from Pastor Tarver to continue to spread the
word of God. Her favorite song was "Never Would've Made It" by Marvin Sapp and she always
kept it in her spirit.
