The family of Traci Atkinson, 40, announces her passing, and invites all who knew her to remember her here.
A life remembered begins, simply, with the telling.
Traci's story began in 1978, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Traci spent her working life as ['correspondent for Advertising Checking Bureau'] and held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
A life of faith is rarely a life of certainty — but always one of trust.
