Tracy, more affectionately known as Mimi T, was born on Monday, November 20, 1961, in Austin, Texas to Windell Watkins and Rayda (Algor) Neswick. She worked as a Senior Title Abstractor.

She was the oldest sibling to 3 wonderful sisters, guiding them through life, as most older siblings should. She enjoyed the bands ELO, Journey, Kansas, traveling for work, gardening, crocheting, drinking several pots of coffee a day and front ‘porch sitting’. Tracy was a member of the Episcopalian church, serving as a member of the choir. Her 4 children, 9 grandchildren and her fur babies, Molly and jack, were her greatest joys in life. She was an avid coca-cola drinker early in life, later switching to Dr. Pepper, which was a surprise to many. Her light hearted jokes, her undying support of family and unwavering love will be missed by all. Tracy said that she believed Colorado was a Gift from God, where she spent past years with her beloved spouse, Jefferey, in their younger years, skiing and enjoying life. Recently, Tracy had a new found love for a cat named Morris, which was completely unexpected, as she was never really a “cat person”. Morris and Tracy spent her last days lounging on the couch, sharing pets and watching FOX news. Tracy leaves behind a slew of family and friends that will forever miss her presence. However, her life was fulfilled by family, friends and pets that she cared for deeply. Our lives are a little more empty without her but we can find solace that we will see her again, in the after life, as she loved the lord.

Tracy is survived by: her children, Justin Kienzle and his wife, Ali of Tonkawa, OK, Kristin Herrin and her husband, Jeremy, of Derby, KS, William Kienzle of Ponca City, OK, and Christopher Kienzle of Ponca City, OK; grandchildren, Aubry Kienzle, Krayton Kienzle, Stathen Kienzle, Gavin Kienzle, Aidan Kienzle, Meah Kienzle, Emma Kienzle, Darwin Young, and Elaina Kienzle; sisters, Laurie Carpenter, Jennifer Smith, and Jill Hancock of Orange, TX ; and her beloved fur babies, Molly and Jack . She is preceded in death by her parents.
