She attended New Utrecht High School for one year prior to transferring to Malverne High School. It was difficult growing up in Brooklyn and her family wanted to provide Tracy with the best environment to succeed. Malverne provided that opportunity. Tracy's grandmother Orlee Gibbs, was a big influence in Tracy's life and Tracy deeply adored her. After a stellar high school career, Tracy joined the Molloy College women's basketball team and made an immediate impact.

Her first assignment was as a patrol officer in the 73 Precinct. Within three years she was transferred to Queens South Narcotics and began undercover work. Eighteen months later, she was promoted to Detective and transferred to the Manhattan South Downtown Narcotics Unit where she remained until the end of her career. Unfortunately, Tracy's career was cut short when she was unable to continue working after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She retired in October 2000 on ordinary disability.
In May 1998, Tracy married Ed Harold and they had one daughter, Jaelyn, in November 1999. Ed and Tracy lived in Queens prior to retreating to Point Pleasant, New Jersey in 2003. Sadly, Tracy passed away on November 5, 2010 from the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Her tragic death was mourned by the entire community.

Her dad says she is very much like Tracy.
