TRACY LE RENNE

October 2, 1967 – November 6, 2024

On October 2, 1967, Tracy was born in Tulsa at St. Francis Hospital. Three minutes later, her identical twin sister Stacy joined her. They always had a very special bond and spent their earlier years secretly trading places when it was to their advantage. They were so identical that their Aunt Jerry wanted to just change both their names to Stracy! They wore their hospital bracelets for a long time so people would not get them mixed up!!

Tracy spent her younger years trying different things; sports, music, and excelled at Softball. She found her passion for being in the water after joining Coach Turner's Aquatic Club and swam competitively for them. Tracy graduated from Jenks in 1985. Her senior year one of her graduation presents was SCUBA diving lessons at ORU and a trip to the Cayman Islands to get her Open Water Diving Certificate. She excelled at diving during her certification which changed her life forever.

Tracy attended Southeastern University in Durant but knew that was not where she wanted to be. She worked in St. Croix as a Dive Instructor before opening a Dive Shop in Key West, Florida, and becoming a Master SCUBA Diver Instructor. In February 2000 she was in a tragic accident on her Moped and was life flighted to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami, FL. She was in a coma but stabilized and transferred to Jackson Memorial in Miami where she remained for 16 weeks. She recovered and was able to take care of herself but because of some of her injuries was declared permanently disabled. She was never able to dive again and struggled with illness and complications from her accident until her death. She had a kind heart and was generous and always helping any person or animal that was in need.
