May 20, 1965 – October 28, 2025
After a lengthy battle with cancer, Tracey passed away peacefully with her family by her side.
She will be greatly missed by her husband Rob, son Jackson, daughter Amanda (Dale) and grandsons Ayden and Owen. She is also survived by her mother Linda, brother Ron (Lorrie), sister Shannon (Steve), nephew Kellen, brother-in-law Jim (Jill) and sister-in-law Heather (Jim), and many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and great great nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her dad Wayne Gibson, as well as her mother-in-law and father-in-law Peggy and Jack Gwynne.
Tracey was born in Geraldton, Ontario, moving to Winnipeg shortly after.
She was very active in sports growing up, excelling in both ringette and softball playing with Bronx Park and River East. She continued to play both sports well into her adult life. This love of sports only increased with Amanda and Jackson, never missing a chance to watch and cheer them on.
Tracey loved to travel. Whether it was to Cuba with the girls, trips to St Louis, Arizona and most recently St John’s Newfoundland with the baseball friends, Cartwright for Cousin’s Lunch, Man Cave visits or just the impromptu road trip, lasting memories were always made.
Tracey’s career spanned from Great West Life, Investors Group and Bell MTS, leaving an impact on others and earning respect by managing her team. She made many lifelong friends at work, creating lasting memories at company golf tournaments, Jets, Goldeyes and Bomber games and the always fun-filled Christmas parties. We all loved to hear about the antics following these events.
Those who knew Tracey will remember her zest for life and joy in having a great time with friends and family, leaving a legacy of love and laughter – a reminder that a full life is measured not by years, but by the joy and meaning created. Her most treasured moments were spent as Nana to Ayden and Owen, feeling truly blessed.
Tracey will be sadly missed. She has left us all with beautiful and fun-filled memories.
The family would like to thank the staff at Cancer Care and Selkirk Hospital.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba (Thoracic Department) or the Winnipeg Humane Society.
A Celebration of life will be held on Friday, November 14th at 2 pm, at East Selkirk Hall located at 711 Old Henderson Highway, East Selkirk, Manitoba.

I got to know Tracey from the many years we spent working together at MTS. The first project she worked on was with me. We both didn’t have a clue what we were doing but faked it really well. The result is still being used today at MTS. Our paths crossed on many other projects, she was a great co-worker who did her job well and always went the extra mile. You always knew when Tracey was in the room with a great story, infectious laugh and interesting commentaries. I regarded her as a truly great friend. My sympathies to family and friends.
Sending our deepest condolences to Rob, Amanda and Jack and family. Tracey was a special lady she always had time to have a quiet chat when we stopped in from across the street, she will be missed by us and all that got to know her. Hold on to her memories to get you through this difficult loss. Know we’re thinking of you all. Jay and Sherry
My deepest sympathies to Tracey’s family! I worked with Tracey at Gwl. She knew how to lighten up a room . After she left Gwl I would often see her at different places . She always made time to come say hi and have a nice conversation. I will forever hold onto those memories!
I have known Tracey for seven years, and during that time our relationship grew from simple neighbors to friends. As we got to know one another, we discovered how much we had in common. She loved to cook, and we often shared recipes—though it was usually more about ideas than measurements, since neither of us ever really followed a recipe exactly. Tracey was a genuinely kind person, always willing to help in any way she could. It’s ironic how a neighborly relationship can grow into something so much deeper, but that’s exactly what happened with us. She initiated kindness from the start, and through helping each other, we built a meaningful connection. I’m grateful for the friendship we shared and for the warmth, generosity, and authenticity she brought into my life. 🐾🩷
