TRACY JUSTICE TITUSVILLE Tracy Justice, 38, passed away at the family home Friday, February 28, 2003. God gave the gift of life to Tracy, and he has now called her home to be with family and friends.

When a person of such inflexible Christian principle, and such persistent Christian activity as was Tracy, dies, it seems fitting that something more should be said of them, than simply a record of their departure. Tracy Justice, wife of Tony Justice; and the mother of sons William and Anthony Parsons, was born in Ajo, July 10, 1964. She later settled in Cocoa, Fla. where she resided until her death. Tracy was the daughter of William P.

Macken; stepmother Rebecca Macken; and mother Jean Watson. She is also survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Terry and Larry Heismann; and their three sons, David, Shea and Todd; her half-sister Kelly Watson; and niece Sophie Watson; her step-sisters Denise Taylor and Vicky Griffin; their children; and her beloved Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. She was predeceased by a daughter, Lorelei Parsons. She was an honored and beloved member of her church, to which she was ardently attached. Her love was given to it fervently and in its prosperity she rejoiced.

In times of discouragement, her faith was steady so that she met toil and trials with a serenity and a self-possession that went far to overcome them. To the community at large she was ever ready to the full measure of her ability to bear her part in every labor of love and sacrifice. Tracy has left us the memory of a life devoted to those things that make life better and happier. Calling hours will I be held from 6 to 9 p.m., Tuesday at North Brevard Funeral Home in Titusville.
