Winter Haven, FL – Tracy Ann Pilkenton, age 53, passed away peacefully at her cottage in Winter Haven on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

Born on February 28, 1971, in Haines City, Florida, to Carl L. Pilkenton and Joan M. Pilkenton, Tracy was a lifelong resident of Lake Hamilton. She was a vibrant soul, known for her love of good food, great drinks, and even better parties. Tracy was a natural socialite who lit up every room she entered.

Tracy loved to travel, especially with her mother when she was able. They shared many adventures, particularly their cherished trips to the casinos, creating memories that lasted a lifetime. After her father passed, she found comfort and joy in spending time with her mom, being outdoors and she was a true fan of college football.

During her high school years, Tracy was a proud member of the cheerleading squad, and her passion for horses stayed with her throughout her life. She had a vivacious spirit and a heart full of love, always embracing life with open arms.

Tracy was preceded in death by her loving parents, Carl and Joann. She leaves behind her beloved dogs, Jewels and Zoey, who were her constant companions and brought her immense joy.

A viewing will be held on Monday evening at 6 p.m. at Steele’s Family Funeral Home, followed by a funeral service on Tuesday at noon at the same location. The burial will be followed by a graveside service and a gathering to celebrate Tracy’s life at the home of her beloved cousins Shane and Brandon at 300 W Lake Summit Drive, Winter Haven.
