TROY, NY – Tracey Marie Barton, 46, of Troy, NY, entered into rest on January 4, 2023, at Albany Medical Center following a long illness. She was surrounded by love. The daughter of Lee Roy and Bonnie Marie (Miller) Judy of Clearville, PA, Tracey was born on July 7, 1976, in Cumberland, Maryland. She was raised in Clearville, PA and has resided in Syracuse, NY, Florida, and for the last ten years of her life in Troy, NY. Tracey was a graduate of Flintstone Central School District, Class of 1994. She furthered her education at Allegany Community College and became a state board certified nurse’s aide. Tracey will be warmly remembered as a very sweet, quiet, gentle soul, who never saw fault in others. She was willing to help others in hard times, and people were naturally drawn to her. Tracey made friends easily and developed deep connections. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family and will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.
