Traci L. Baldwin

Traci Lynn Henry Baldwin

Born: Sept. 25, 1973, went home to be with her Lord, Jesus Christ on Aug. 27, 2018.  Traci was a wonderful wife, mother and friend.  She is survived by: Ray (Husband), Brittany (Daughter), Brian (Son), Steven (Father), Dorothy (Mother), Melissa (Sister), Chris (Brother-in-Law), Maggie & Anne (Nieces), Ray (Father-in-Law) and Joan (Mother-in-Law).  She worked at Dental Professional Associates as the Assistant Office Manager for 20 years.  She was an active woman working in Christian ministry, School activities and youth athletics.  She was room mom for Brittany and Brian for a total of 14 years at Grace Christian School, Swim Team support at BSR & BBT for 10 years and Lacrosse for 8 years and many more activities.  She worked in multiple Christian ministries over the years and was active in the lives of many families, youth and children.  She taught years of children and youth Sunday school.  She worked with her husband in youth ministry for 8 years, touching the hearts of 500+ children/youth.  Youth ministry is where God put two hearts together (Ray & Traci were married March 2, 1996) where they began to build their family with Brittany’s birth on Sept. 9, 1997 and the second bundle of joy Brian born March 30, 2002.  She gave her self the name “Mama Bear”.  She protected her family at all costs, teaching and nurturing then along with those who joined our extended family.  You may not have been a relative but if she got to know you, you became family.  She had a beautiful life that through the help of God and her family, she built and stabilized for all those around her.  With one smile she would brighten anyone’s day.  She walked the way she talked.  She was a light and anchor for all she touched.  She will be missed by so many and her legacy will live on through all.
