Tracy Lee Raymond
June 13, 1959 – July 28, 2024
Prairie City, OR – Tracy sadly passed away surrounded by her family. She was born June 13, 1959 in Vancouver, WA to Delmas and Norma Raymond. Tracy spent 20+ years driving school buses before switching to a career in the health care industry taking care of others. She raised 2 children of her own, Christopher and Jason Layng, but was a surrogate mother to many others both during her time driving buses and caring for others at Step Forward. Tracy proved to be an independent, driven, and nurturing person. She maintained that independence up until the very end. She was loving, kind, compassionate, stubborn, silly and full of life. Her true calling was in how she took care of everyone else in such a compassionate manner. Her sense of humor was witty and charming.
Tracy's hobbies included her love for quilting. When she wasn't quilting, you would find her crocheting or knitting. She is preceded in death by her parents, Delmas and Norma Raymond. Tracy is survived by her children: Christopher and Jason Layng; her step-mother: Mary Raymond; brother: Jim Raymond; step-sister: Tonia Roberts; and 4 grandchildren. Contributions can be made in her memory to Prairie City Fire Department Christmas program for kids or Prairie City American Legion Post #106.
