Tracy Artman Clayson

Tracy Artman Clayson, born on March 18, 1963, in Anaheim, California, departed this world on June 29, 2025, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Known for her vibrant spirit and peculiar charm, Tracy was a beacon of light, warmth, and a little bit of mischief in the lives of her loved ones.

Tracy's educational journey led her to Cal State University Fullerton, where she earned a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance. However, her true passion was not found within the confines of an office, but rather strolling through neighborhoods while dog walking and pet sitting—a beloved pursuit she dedicated the last 13 years of her life to. If you ever wondered why your pet was grinning ear to ear or always asking for a treat, chances are, Tracy was involved.

Beyond her professional endeavors, Tracy’s heart was as vast as her interests. She was the embodiment of kindness, generosity, and humor, often showing up with something special for everyone. Her love for gardening, baking, and shopping for others brought joy not just to herself, but to everyone she encountered. And let us not forget her unrivaled love for the Christmas season—those that got to visit her Christmas celebrations would understand the passion!

Tracy leaves behind cherished memories with her loving children, Beth Clayson, Wyllie Clayson, and Casey Moran, who continue to carry her legacy of kindness and laughter, and her brother Dennis Artman. As she hoped her adventures would continue, even after death; she requested to have her ashes scattered in a surprise location somewhere around the world. 

In honor of her larger-than-life spirit, donations can be made to support this final wish. Please send any contributions to 2425 N. Park Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92706, and rest assured that every penny will go to fulfilling her final wish. Checks can be made out to Wyllie Clayson, who will be planning her last adventure on behalf of the family.

Tracy may have left this earthly realm, but her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched with her presence, her kindness, and her generosity. She is greatly missed, and we’ll always hold her memories dear to our hearts.  May she find peace and happiness, where the flowers are always blooming, and be reunited with the loved ones that have gone before.
