Tracy Michelle Scarboro, 54, passed away surrounded by loved ones on Thursday, December 7th at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Tracy fought her aggressive cancer with the bravery and strength of a warrior.
Born on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to Marvin (Tommy) and Sheila Boyette Scarboro (deceased), Tracy attended School in Raleigh and went on to complete degrees at Tidewater Community College and Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. Using her education and talent, she developed a successful career as Director of Contracts with BAE Systems.
Tracy is survived by her loving partner Gary Wobensmith, her amazing children Sara Vance (Colwin), and Trevor, grandchildren Kai and Zane Vance, all Houston residents. Tracy’s North Carolina family includes her parents Marvin and Sallye Scarboro, sister Michele Foster (David), nieces Nichole Boyd (Bryan, children Nash and Travis), Jessica Foster, and nephew Ben Foster.
She will be remembered for all the heart she shared with her family and her friends. Tracy truly loved each of them and you never doubted it. She always spoke of Sara and Trevor with deep pride and unconditional love from her heart. Then her love blossomed again when she became a grandmother to Kai 6 years ago and to Zane just 6 weeks ago. Family was her world.
Her adventurous spirit showed through in many ways, displaying her individuality in a fun bohemian style. She then surrounded every part of her family’s home with plants, many she propagated herself, and she recently started planting peppers and fruit trees in her yard. Tracy was very passionate about music and traveled with her “music family” on many adventures to live concert events.
Tracy was a beautiful person inside and out. She was curious and her inquisitiveness drove her to always try new things. She cared deeply and will be passionately missed by her family and friends. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. A celebration of life will be held soon to share our memories of her amazing journey of life.
