As part of her preparation, she completed a two-year cohort learning experience with the Province One School for Deacons, graduating in December of 2020. Tracy has been a resident of Ellsworth since 2013. She built a retirement home in Maine after retiring from Verizon and its predecessor companies after a career of over 25 years. She decided on this area because of its proximity to her mother as well as to a family camp on Gouldsboro Bay. A key interest in her retirement - or next chapter - was and is community service. With that in mind, a call to the diaconate seems to be a natural fit and a response to a sense of call discerned much earlier in her life to ordained service. Tracy is single, remains an active Rotarian after serving as President of The Ellsworth Rotary Club in 2018-19, enjoys engaging in community service including Everybody Eats! Free Community Meal, likes to dine out with friends (pre-COVID) and spend time at camp. TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:207-288-4215 TEL;TYPE=WORK,FAX:207-288-8953 N:The Rev.
