Tracey GRAFAS Obituary

8.7.1969 - 14.1.2026

Tracey passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, after the most courageous and lengthy battle which she always fought with dignity, determination, and a smile. She leaves behind her loving husband Andrew, her adored children Andre and Tyla, Aike the cat, her cherished parents Tom & Annette (Te Puke), and her loved brother Andrew (Katikati). She was a wonderful daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and proud aunty to all her nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind an amazing friendship network who will miss her dearly. She connected with many people over the years via her school days in Te Puke, through her work (ANZ Bank, Shelley Tweedy & Associates and Caroline Eve), during trips to the gym, associations with Andre and Tyla, or by simply saying a kind word to strangers. Special thanks to the Cancer Society, Hospice Waikato and Salutis Care for looking after our Tracey. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice Waikato. A celebration of Tracey's life will be held at Simply Funerals, 449 Te Rapa Road (Service Lane), Te Rapa, Hamilton, on Monday 19th January at 11.00am.
