Tracy Belinda Lee

With heavy hearts and profound respect, we announce the peaceful passing of Tracy Belinda Lee, who departed this world on June 3, 2026, at the age of 70. Tracy slipped away quietly in her sleep at a nursing home, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and resilience. Born on March 28, 1956, in the vibrant city of Lima, Ohio, Tracy was a beacon of warmth and strength. As the daughter of Lima, she carried the spirit and values of her hometown in every step she took. She was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend whose life was a testament to the beauty of simplicity and the power of perseverance. Tracy was a proud alumna of Lima Senior High School, where she forged lifelong friendships and began a journey that would touch countless lives. After her schooling, Tracy embarked on a diverse and fulfilling career. She dedicated her talents and hard work to Honda of America Manufacturing, the JSMC Tank Plant in Lima, and the Lima Correctional Institution, where her colleagues admired her dedication, integrity, and unyielding work ethic. Her heart was always full of love, which she generously shared with her family and friends. Tracy was devoted to her late husband, Bobby Lee, with whom she shared many cherished years. Together, they built a home filled with laughter and love. Though Bobby preceded her in death, their bond remains an enduring testament to true partnership and commitment. Tracy's love extended to her surviving family members, who will carry her memory forward with grace and gratitude. She leaves behind her beloved son, Terrance Mays of Pennsylvania, and her cherished siblings: Edna McLaurin, Karen Long, Janice Seay, and Kimberly Mays, all of Lima, along with Naomi Mays of Chicago. Tracy also embraced her role as a stepmother, leaving behind two step-sons who will miss her dearly. Tracy was predeceased by her husband, Bobby Lee, and some Kyle Smith, whose memories she held close to her heart throughout her life. A service to celebrate Tracy's life and honor her memory will be held on June 10, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Hanneman-Siferd Funeral Home, located on North Cable Road in Lima, Ohio. Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Tracy are warmly invited to gather and share in a tribute to her remarkable life. As we say goodbye to Tracy, we cherish the moments we shared with her and the love she sowed in our hearts. Her legacy will live on in the stories we tell, in the laughter we share, and in the kindness we extend to one another. Rest in peace, dear Tracy. You will be forever missed and eternally loved.
