Victoria “Tori” Anne Tracy, 34, of Duluth, Minnesota, died October 31, 2026. Born on Christmas Day, Tori grew up in Springfield, Illinois. She was an adventurous, curious, and independent spirit who loved traveling, hiking, and exploring the outdoors. She spent more than two years living and traveling in a van, visited Latin America several times, and was learning Spanish with hopes of becoming fluent. Tori had strong convictions and was passionate about standing up for others and the causes important to her. She loved discovering new music, making art, cooking, candle making, gardening, and creating things with her hands.
Tori had a deep love for animals, especially her rescue dogs, Daisy and Velma, whom she cared for with extraordinary devotion. Her family finds comfort in imagining her reunited with Daisy.
Tori is survived by her parents, Don and Wanda Tracy; her brother, Steven George, and his wife, Amelia George; her sister, Liz Tracy and her husband, Andrew Deuel, her sister; Jaclyn Tracy and her husband, Rob Lami; and her eight nieces and nephews: Genavive George, Galvin George, Sylvan George, Leonard George, Charles Deuel, Avie Deuel, George Deuel, and Clara Lami.
Tori will be missed by her family and friends more than words can express.
