It is with great sorrow and sadness that we share the passing of our beautiful & loving mother who left a huge whole in all our hearts.  Born January 22, 1939 in Glens Falls NY to the late Daniel & Christine Torchetti.  She was the wife of her late husband Joseph Andrew Tracey Sr.

She is survived by her cherished children Theresa Benenati (Joe Provenzano), Joanne Welcome (Jim Herkel), Carole Ann & Gary Levine, her favorite son Joseph Andrew & Patrice Tracey and her be-loved dog Pepe.  She also leaves behind the lights of her life..her grandchildren & great grandchildren Justin(Monique), Christina, Joey(Becky), Meghan(Des), Shane(Ginny), Kyle, Greyson, Audrey Mae, Asher & Evelyn Dee.

Her sister Mona Seeger(Richard), her brother Robert Torchetti(Wendy) her nephew Keith Seeger & family, her very close cousin Alice Viele(Kenneth) will miss her greatly as well. Along with many nieces, nephews & cousins.

Our mom enjoyed many years of camping & boating on Lake George, NY with family & friends.

She was an avid reader & collector of books.  Her favorite time of year was Christmas. We will never forget how early & how long she would decorate to make sure our holiday was special & festive!  She bowled in a league & played tennis for many years.  She looked forward to her monthly luncheons with all her special girlfriends from high school.

The 4 of us children would especially like to thank her granddaughter Meghan for being our moms’ companion over the years and for opening up her home to create a home within for our mom. We can’t thank you enough Meghan for all you did.  We love you.

We invite you to join our family for a celebration of life on Thursday August 29, 2024 from 5-7pm at the Gordon C. Emerick Funeral Home 1550 Rt. 9 Clifton Park NY 12065.  A private burial will be held at St. Mary’s Cemetery in So. Glens Falls, NY.

Her unconditional love for us all will be greatly missed.  RIP Mom We love you & we will miss you tremendously.  Much Love from all of us!
