Saturday, Jan. 28, 2017, Tracy Sue Diaz the embodiment of love, ambassador of kindness and exemplar of charity, obediently returned to our Father in Heaven, who summoned home to rest one of his most precious angels. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 6, at the Centennial Stake Center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ninth South Second West in Snowflake, with a visitation one hour prior. Burial will follow at the R.V. “Mike” Ramsay Memorial Cemetery in Snowflake.
Tracy, born June 7, 1960, was a true angel on this earth, like one of those Greek goddesses…just one glance into her sparkling blue eyes would stop you in your pace…now accompany that with her vibrant smile, and contagious giggle…kiss your heart goodbye forever. Anyone that has met Tracy, even for a few moments, can testify they were left with a lasting impression of her love for life and her fellow man.
Her zest for life was typified in her gift for the arts, where her unique personality and charm came through her every creation. There was nothing on this planet that Tracy didn’t see through God’s eyes, whether a child, an animal, a stranger on the street or an old swatch of discarded cloth. She didn’t see flaws, only potential…Tracy was a true creator.
Tracy began as a phlebotomist, and eventually received her master in oncology. Among some of her more recent employment was with the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office Juvenile Division as an instructor. But the job she enjoyed the most was driving the bus for “special needs” for Snowflake High School.
David fondly remembers the story of her first day, first stop, first angel…“As she approached the open door of the bus and looked up at Tracy…Almost scaring her mother…She screamed, “YOOOOUUUU SHINE !”
A devoted wife and mother, who, in the infancy of the Snowflake Temple, on Dec. 20, 2005, became sealed to her eternal husband David and forever daughters Gianna and Christeana “Cricket”. From that day on “benefactors of peace,” knowing they will be together forever.
Her last moments here were passed peacefully in the arms of her beloved eternal husband after a rapid progression of a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s. She was 56 years young.
Survivors include her husband, David; daughters Gianna and Cricket; sons Austin Greco, Ryan Greco and Dylan Greco; granddaughters, Maddy Greco and Ashley Greco; her sister, Dora Azadian, brother-in-law Aram Azadian, and nephews Harry and Russell; her brother, John Fisher, sister-in-law Sandra Fisher and nephew Cody; David’s brother, Andy Diaz; and Tracy’s stepdaughters, Aurora Diaz, Brittney Diaz, and Mia Diaz. Tracy is also survived by aunts, uncles and cousins, and a countless number of people that she was a friend, sister and second mother to.
She was preceded in death by her father, John Fisher, and mother, Virginia Fisher.
Donations: In remembrance of Tracy’s passion for giving…Tracy would want you to go into your heart in prayer and ask to visualize a needy family that you may be inspired to give your talents, flowers, services or maybe even some of Tracy’s favorite…See’s Chocolates. Blessings to you all…Until we meet again.
Owens Livingston Mortuary-Heritage Chapel of Snowflake was in charge of the arrangements.
