Tracy Misiewicz Panagiotopoulos embarked on her final journey on December 6, 2025, leaving a trail of cherished memories in her wake. Born on a sunny day in Coatesville, PA, on June 6, 1969, Tracy's zest for life was infectious from the get-go. She is survived by her husband Jimmy, brother Joe Misiewicz, mother Shirlee Miller, In laws, Dennis and Tina Panagiotopoulos and special friend Zoe Bergere.
Tracy's early years in Bradenton, FL, saw her graduate from Bayshore High School. Continuing her educational journey through Chester County Community College in Lima, PA, and Newman College in Aston, PA, before capping off her academic achievements with a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Development from Walden University.
Professionally, Tracy was the powerhouse Executive Assistant to the President and CEO of World of Decor Auction House in Orlando, FL. She was the organizational wizard behind the curtain, the one who made sure that every 'i' was dotted and every 't' crossed.
Tracy could be found indulging in her passion for scrapbooking. Each page was a testament to her love for capturing the joyous moments of life and was a very passionate part of her life filled with love. Tracy's love for the beach was no secret. She'd say that the only thing better than the feeling of sand between her toes was the sound of her laughter mingling with the waves.
Kind, generous, and courageous-these words barely scratch the surface of Tracy's character. She was the kind of person who could find humor in the mundane, a silver lining in every cloud, and a way to make even the toughest of days seem a little brighter. Tracy left us not with a somber goodbye but with a legacy of laughter, a reminder to find the joy in every moment, and the courage to face each day with a smile. And while the curtain may have closed on her time with us, her memory will keep us smiling for years to come.
Always remember Tracy's saying; "Dance like a rockstar, eat the cake and definitely wear the jewelry!"
