Patti Lynn Tracy
Patti Lynn Tracy, age 66, passed away on December 27, 2021.
Patti was born on April 28, 1955 in Granite City, Illinois, to John and Mary Nolen. She was a devout Christian who accepted Jesus as her Savior at a young age. She was an active member of numerous churches throughout her life, but most recently, she was a member of Trinity Assembly of God in Little Rock, Arkansas. Patti attended Granite City South High School, where she formed lifelong friendships.
Patti was wed to David L. Messick, both of Granite City, from 1971-1974, and from this marriage one child was born, Michelle Renee Messick-Pryor. Patti was married to Michael Andrew Pryor Sr. on February 21, 1975 and to this marriage two children were born, Michael Andrew Pryor Jr. and Malia Anne (Pryor) Williams. Sadly, Michael A. Pryor Sr. passed away on March 22, 1991. Patti then found her life companion in Tommy Dean Tracy and they were married on October 25, 1991 in Granite City, Illinois. They remained in love until Patti passed on December 27, 2021.
Patti was an adventurous child who loved to play practical jokes on anyone she thought was easy prey. She enjoyed craft fairs, rendezvous and singing karaoke, especially Patsy Cline. Additionally, she and Tommy spent countless hours over the years at Woodland Lakes fishing, where she would catch hundreds of bluegills. She enjoyed spoiling all eleven of her grandchildren and her six great-grandchildren. Her adventurous side never faded and continued until she went to meet the Lord.

Tracy, of Little Rock, AR; her three children: Michelle Sebacher and husband Loran of Warrenton, MO, Michael Pryor and wife Jennifer of Cuba, MO and Malia Williams and husband Jesse of Little Rock, AR; one sister, Cammy S.
