Tracey was a good friend and a big part of my social network. She was generous with her home for events, a reliable attendee at the Secular Summit and other Humanist Forum events, and an intelligent and funny person to be around. As an historian, she was always quick to bring up historical events and how they were relevant to the discussion. She was consistently on the side of decency, empathy, respect, and kindness. The world needs more Tracey Martins and fewer sanctimonious, self-serving fools. I'm sure she regretted, at the end, not being able to vote one last time in 2020, one last blow against all that is wrong with the world. She will live on in the memories of her many friends, especially in mine.
