Preeper, Tracey Leah Dawn – age 57, of Truro, passed away peacefully in Colchester East Hants Health Centre on May 18, 2026 with family by her side.
Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late David and Marina (Higgins) Burgess.
Tracey was passionate about loving the people close to her and this shone through the brightest with her grandchildren. Her favorite go to place was Folly Lake with an ice capp in her hand. This was where she felt most at home and most free. She was never alone in mischief, her best friend and partner in crime, Natalie, was her chosen sister and together they shared a bond of laughter, secrets and the kind of friendship most people only dream of.
Tracey will always be loved and missed by daughter, Jessica (Robert); son. Mathew; bonus daughters, Rebekah (Dustin), Toni (Janelle); grandchildren, Haylie, Winter, Hannah, Ryland, Brayden, Robert, Millie, Kane, Ryker, Parker-Mae; brother, Michael; sister, Shelley.
She was predeceased by her husband, Robert; daughter, Samantha; and special aunt, Susan “Duckie”.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to 4H Nova Scotia or any mental health organization.
“She will be missed beyond the moon, beyond words, beyond this lifetime. Rest now Mom, you were so loved, you are so loved, you always will be.”
