Obituary
MADISON/MARSHALL- Tracie E. Sherman, age 57, passed away on Sunday, Aug. 14, 2016, following a brief battle with cancer. She was born in Madison on June 30, 1959, the daughter of Thomas Morrow and Bonnie McCloskey (Roe). Tracie graduated from La Follette High School in 1977, and worked at WPS for 31 years in Military and Veterans Health. She was an avid Harley Davidson enthusiast and collector of all things Harley Davidson. If you were a friend of Tracie's and had a baby, your baby was sure to receive a Harley Davidson themed gift. Tracie enjoyed rock and roll, live bands, spending time with her friends and family, and throwing parties. She loved to read, enjoyed music and movie trivia, and traveling (except for flying). Tracie is survived by her mother, Bonnie McCloskey; sister, Wendy; step-sister, Kelly Bonner; half-sister, Terri Ertz; and her significant other, Jim "Animal" McEuin. She also leaves behind numerous relatives and friends who loved her for her generous, kind and caring heart; and her beloved Norwegian Elkhounds, Thor and Sadie. She was preceded in death by her father, Tom Morrow; step-father, Jerry McCloskey; special aunt, Robin Henning; and cousin, Shelly Henning. In keeping with Tracie's wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held with a Memorial Gathering at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL HOME, 5203 Monona Dr., Madison, from 4:30 p.m. until 7 p.m., on Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016.

Feeling very sad learning of Tracie's passing. She was such a kind person. I'll remember alot of fun times spent with her. I've known Tracie since high school and was lucky to remain friends with her for over 40 years. My condolences to Animal and Tracie's family.

Sadly missed along life's way,
quietly remembered every day...
No longer in our life to share,
but in our hearts, you're always there.

Tracie was such a kind and giving person. We had a lot of fun together back in the day. I'm glad I was able to see her recently after too long... May she rest in peace and always be remembered as a kind and loving soul... -Courtney

Tracie was such a sunny spot in HS. Sadly, we did not connect after. I'm so sorry to hear of her loss. She was a very sweet person.

I met Tracie through a mutual friend many years ago. We didn't hang out together all the time but shared a lot of good and bad times together because of that acquaintance. Even though years would go by between occasions it was always a real pleasure and fun seeing her. In the past few years Facebook kept us up to date on each others life adventures. Sadly today I read of her passing. My heart goes out to her family and her dogs, a good soul gone.
