Tracy Carraway

It is with a heavy heart but genuine reverence that we celebrate the life of Tracy Carraway, who graced our world on January 4, 1970, in Chicago, IL. Tracy was a beacon of unwavering strength, resilience, and love. She departed from us on May 25, 2026. Her legacy, however, remains an undying source of inspiration to everyone who knew her.

Tracy, also affectionately known as "L", "TT" and "Auntie" was a remarkable woman whose life journey took her from the bustling streets of Chicago to the serene beauty of Hapeville, Georgia. Her intelligence and strong work ethic led her to a successful career in logistics, where she served as an office manager at Dascher Logistics until her well-deserved retirement in 2019. Tracy's leadership was not only evident in her professional life; it shone brightly in her personal relationships as well. Her love, guidance, and humility radiated and touched everyone she encountered. Tracy's character was a testament to how she lived her life. Non-judgmental, sweet, loving and courageous.. She was always on the receiving and giving end of grace, laughter and lots of shenanigans. Grace and Strength was always present, and man, did she love the Lord! Good Gracious Almighty! She was a very spiritual person!

As the great Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." This quote perfectly encapsulates Tracy's influential presence in the lives of her loved ones and community.
Tracy is survived by her loving daughter, Alexis Carraway (Brian Foster), who inherits her mother's resilience and tenacity, beauty and grace. She was preceded in death by her caring and loving parents, Wayne and Freda Carraway, as well as her brother Mark. She is survived by her sisters Paris Carraway, Wendy Thomas and Joi Carraway. Her nephews Mark Jr. who was like a son to her, Edward Thomas Jr. (Mary), Jeremy Carraway (Brittany), Wayne Pittman (Morgan), Rian Davis, Jordin Davis, Darnell Love (Madison) and her only niece, Sarah Love (Alyssa), as well as a host of great nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. Last but not least, we all know how much Tracy loved her cat Blink! Since she was supposed to be Alexis' cat initially, Blink knew which side her catnip was buttered! LOL Tracy's vibrant spirit and enduring love have indelibly marked the hearts of her family and friends. Her life might be best summed up with this quote by Albert Schweitzer: "The only ones among you who will be truly happy are those who have sought and found how to serve." Tracy found her happiness in serving others, in both her professional and personal life, and her memory will continue to inspire us to do the same. We Love you Tracy and will miss you deeply.
