Read More	Virginia "Ginny" Mary Brown Tracy died May 13th, 2018 at the Sanford Vermillion Healthcare Center in Vermillion, SD. She was 89 years old, or as she liked to say, she was in her 90th year. Ginny was born December 29, 1928, in Watertown, SD to Dr. H. Russell and Ruth Brown. She was the third of seven children. She grew up in Watertown, SD, attended Immaculate Conception Grade School and graduated from Watertown High School in 1946. After high school, she went to work for the Brown Clinic, as an X-ray technician. She married the love of her life, Gerald E. Tracy on March 1, 1949, and they made their home in Vermillion, SD, where Gerry was attending the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. After moving to Omaha, NE and Des Moines, IA, Ginny and Gerry settled in Watertown where he began practicing medicine at the Brown Clinic, and Ginny raised their eight children. In 2013, she moved to Vermillion to be closer to her children and grandchildren. While her children and grandchildren were a huge part of her life, she was a devoted wife to her husband and best friend. She was active in the Immaculate Conception Parish, The Serra Club, Kardiac/Karing Kapers, and enjoyed playing cards with her Watertown and Roy Lake friends and family where she always seemed to win. But she was never more in her element than when she was cooking fabulous meals for family and friends. In 2007, she sat down at her computer and typed some of her favorite recipes; her children had them published as a gift for her 80th Birthday. This cookbook, “Just Add Butter,” is a gift her family will treasure for generations to come. Ginny’s faith was one of the most important parts of her life. Her faith kept her active in her church and strong throughout her life. That faith is perhaps the greatest legacy she left her family. Ginny is survived by her eight children, Thomas (Jane) Tracy, Seattle, WA, Constance (Gerald) Duncan, Battle Creek, MI, Stephen (Elisa) Tracy, Mt. Pleasant, MI, Timothy (Kathleen) Tracy, Vermillion, SD, Patrick (Deborah) Tracy, Maddock, ND, James (Sarah) Tracy, Burley, WA, Daniel ( Ann) Tracy, Vermillion, SD, and Mark (Joy) Tracy, Clark, SD. She is also survived by her 27 grandchildren and their spouses, 48 great-grandchildren, her sisters Patricia (James) Hanson and Mary Cunningham both of Watertown, SD, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Dr. Gerald E. Tracy, her parents Dr. H. Russell and Ruth Brown, her siblings Russell Brown, Carol Guddal, Constance Kinsman, and James Brown, and her Godsons Earl Kinsman and Paul Kinsman. Visitation will be Wednesday, May 16, 2018, at Wight and Comes Funeral Chapel in Watertown, SD from 5:00 to 6:30 PM followed by a Rosary and Scripture Service.
