I’m sorry to say that Tracey Larrin, a dedicated public servant and much-loved 4th District Alder, died suddenly. With a heavy heart, I have to tell you this terrible news.
Tracey touched the lives of many people with her unwavering commitment to the community, her boundless love for her children, and her warm company. She will forever be remembered in the hearts of those who knew her.
Tracey’s dedication to the neighborhood went beyond the tasks she held as Alder. Being generous with her time and energy, she worked hard on many different charitable projects that made people’s lives better who were having a hard time.
This woman had a lot of power in the boardroom and in the lives of the people she helped without expecting anything in return.
Tracey was a great friend and guide who helped me a lot as I transitioned into my new job as Alder. Her helpful advice, encouragement, and even the few times she lost at cribbage with good humor showed how kind and true a friend she was. Tracey’s legacy will be her kindness, drive, and desire to help those around her become better people.
I’m sorry for Tracey’s family and friends’ loss. Please know that I’m thinking of them during this sad time. The community has lost a real hero, and it won’t be easy to fill the void that they’ve left.
Please accept my thanks, Tracey, for all the ways you have made our town a better place and for all the hours of hard work you have put in. We will miss you very much, but your memory will live on in the minds and hearts of everyone you touched.
