Tracy Howie

Tracy Frances Howie, 60, of Lancaster, passed away Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at MUSC in Lancaster.

Tracy was born March 15, 1962 in Mecklenburg, North Carolina to the late Parks Hunter Howie Sr. and the late Carolyn Elizabeth Howie.

She was also preceded in death by her sister, Sandra O. Howie.

Tracy was sunshine on a cloudy day for her family and friends. She had a true servant's heart and spent her life caring for and bringing joy to all those around her. Tracy was an accomplished cook , an avid gardener, and a passionate animal lover.  She loved horses and especially her dog, a brown labrador, and best friend, Lakota. Tracy had the gift of being able to love unconditionally and was able to show this love in different ways through letters, parties, gifts, trips, and most importantly visiting those she cared about.  She was the ultimate  daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Tracy was truly a light in a dark room and will be missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing her.
