Tracy L. Estep, 59, North Manchester, Indiana, passed away March 5, 2021 at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne, Indiana. She was born in Warsaw, Indiana on February 25, 1962 to Harold Richard and Elizabeth Parker (Edelman) Estep.
After graduating from Manchester High School in 1980, Tracy furthered her education by attending Ivy Tech where she received a CNA certificate. During the 1980s, Tracy worked at Peabody Retirement Community in North Manchester before beginning at Pathfinder Services Inc. in Wabash where she retired after twenty-five years of service.
Tracy enjoyed making beaded jewelry, relaxing on her deck with friends, listening to country music (especially Rascal Flatts), decorating, spray painting, and reading Amish Stories and anything by Beverly Lewis, Beth Wiseman, and Wanda Brunstetter. On Sundays after attending Laketon Wesleyan Church, where she was a member, Tracy loved to cuddle on the couch with her cat, Carly Sue and watch the Pittsburgh Steelers. She would often go to garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets. Tracy loved anything with history or a story to it and especially liked listening to 105.9 The Bash. She also relished in her time baking, cooking, and making Christmas candy and cookies. Finally, Tracy was very fond of ladybugs; they had a special meaning to her.
