Our beautiful mother, daughter, and sister, Tracey Marie Tranter, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, age 46, passed away May 23rd, 2024 in South Jordan Utah.
Tracey was born on August 11th, 1977 to Brad and Linda Tranter. She was the eldest, and ringleader, of 4 daughters. As a child she was a natural born leader and some of her favorite memories involved sneaking into hot tubs at Snowbird every summer.
Tracey was known for her hard work and dedication. She graduated from Alta High School and received her Bachelors of Nursing from the University of Utah. She then returned to the University of Utah and received her Masters in Nursing with an emphasis in psychiatry.
She was a mother of 2 children, Taelor Jon Gittins and Brooklyn Marie Gittins of whom she worked hard for her entire life. She was also a devoted aunt to her many nieces and nephews and would often shower them with fun experiences and lots of candy.
Tracey was known for her compassion. She cared for patients at Alta view as a RN. She worked devotedly as a Labor and Delivery nurse at Jordan Valley and Lone Peak hospitals. She’s worked at several mental health clinics, where she’s helped numerous patients overcome personal struggles. She started her own mental health clinic where she helped many and was well respected in her field.
As hard as Tracey worked in her life, she also knew how to play. If Tracey could live anywhere, she would live on the beach with her toes in the sand and a drink in her hand. She loved the sun, catamaran sailing, snorkeling with sharks, and eating rum cake. More than this, she loved bringing others along on her adventures. Her generosity knows no bounds.
Tracey was renowned for her sweet tooth. She wasn’t above the occasional doordash where she’d order strawberry milkshakes and scotcheroos. She loved fine dining, with a side of French fries and ketchup. On every vacation, she could be counted on to have a box of cheezits from home, and she was always willing to share. Tracey loved the finer things in life and often treated herself with the very best.
She is survived by her son and daughter in law Taelor and Brooklyn Fagergren Gittins, daughter Brooklyn Marie Gittins, parents Brad and Linda Tranter, grandma Barbara Baxter Christy, siblings Jill and Mike Comarell, Kirsten and Chris Miles, Rachel and Darren Washburn, 2 nieces and 7 nephews, several aunts, uncles, cousins and lifelong friends.
She was preceded in death by partner Matthew Tullin, grandparents Raymond Baxter, Bonnie and Reid Tranter, uncle Mark Baxter and cousin Justin Tranter.
There will be a viewing for Tracey on Thursday, May 30th from 6 - 8 pm at Larkin Sunset Gardens (1950 E, 10600 S Sandy, Utah 84092), and a service for family and close friends on Friday, May 31 at 11 am at the same location.
Guestbook/Condolences
This is so heartbreaking. She was my labor and delivery nurse for my little boy. She was so friendly, kind, patient and explained everything so well to put our minds at ease. It was also fun to find out that I knew her parents as we lived in the same neighborhood. Linda, Brad and her family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Praying God can send you some comfort and tender mercies during this difficult time.
So so sorry and I am so sad. I will be at the graveside service and I will see you then
my heart goes out to her family and her. I’ve known Tracey for 12 years. I worked with her for eight. She’s such a beautiful soul and I know we all have struggles. I will miss her and always keep her close to my heart and I know her family will too.
Dear Linda and Brad and Jill and Rachel and Kirsten, my heart goes out to you for your loss. I sure love your beatiful family. My family and I will keep you all in our prayers.
Love you!

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Life seems the darkest when we grieve and even darker still when we grieve for someone who is taking from us too soon.
Tracey is definitely such a beautiful and warm, compassionate being, your loss will never go away, but take comfort in that knowledge that you got to know her and love her and she you, and that’s always such a special God-given gift. God bless
I am so sorry for your loss. Your are on my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sad to hear of your daughter passing. My love and prayers to you and your family.
Dear Linda & Brad, what a beautiful picture of your daughter. I’m praying for you and want you to know I love you both so very much. I wish I could make it all go away but she will be with her maker and loved in his presence.
Tracey was one the strongest advocates for her patients. Working alongside her was an honor. She was dedicated to the care and support of my clients and was willing to go into the “trenches” with me many times. Her genuine care and thoughtfulness in supporting the populations we worked with is hard to come by. A powerhouse and advocate you always wanted on your side, Tracey will be greatly missed. Sending my love and greatest condolences.
I knew Tracey as a colleague through work as well as professionally as a patient during a hard time in my life. She was exemplary in both areas and I was proud to call her a friend. My heart breaks at this news. My condolences go out to her family and friends as well as colleagues. She is now and will always be so missed. Thank you Tracey, for being the You that you are. 😭
Tracey was not just a friend but a sister to me. She was a remarkable person who touched the lives of many with her kindness and generosity. She was my mentor and biggest cheerleader while I was getting my NP. I will sincerely miss the phone calls, the text messages, the brunches we shared, and the jokes we shared in L&D. My heart aches with her loss, and my thoughts are with everyone who loved her during this difficult time.
Brad, Linda. & the girls,
I wanted to share this memory with you. Tracey always seemed larger than life to me when we were growing up. She had a sunny smile and was quite adventurous! I remember getting in trouble several times while visiting Aunt Barbara's house and hanging out with her and Becky in Lance's room (without his permission!).
My heart and prayers goes out to you all during this time.
Tracey was an amazing person. Always there with love and support for anyone who needed it. I will miss her greatly.
I am so heartbroken to hear of Tracey's passing. She was so much fun, listening to her stories and the never ending endeavor's she was planning. The people that she has touched in her short life, are better just to have known her. The kindest and her sincere desire to help those in need was always first and foremost in her heart. I will miss our catchup sessions, new adventures and most of all her laughter.
May Her Memory Be Eternal......

We loved Tracey so much. She helped so many. I never forgot.
Tracey was a very kind and caring soul. She was a great person to know. She was always a friend that you knew was there to help you and had your back. Her kindness had no end, she was always just wanting to help people. And she did, she helped so many. More than she knew. And she was so smart, she had so much knowledge and insight to give to everyone. I hope wherever she is she is at peace now, as she provided peace and love to so many during her time here. Love you Trace you’ll be missed💕
