Tracey Ellen Murnane died peacefully on October 12, 2026 at the Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers. She was 57.

She was born on December 19, 1968 and lived with cerebral palsy, communicating in a way that was unmistakably hers. Her family remembers her humor, her spirited personality and her playful flirtation. For most of her life she was cared for by her grandparents, Nana and Bup, whose devotion her family calls a lasting lesson in unconditional love, and for the past 22 years she lived at Bass River Inc., where she was deeply loved.

She leaves her brother, Timothy Murnane, his wife Tricia, their children Conor and Owen and stepchildren Alli and John, of Marblehead; her sister, Melissa Scorzoni, her husband Christian and their children Andrew, William and Olivia, of Amesbury; and her sister-in-law, Maura Phelan of Marblehead. Her parents, Dr. Thomas and Janice Murnane of Marblehead, died before her.

A private family service will be held. Arrangements are by the Solimine Funeral Home, Lynn. The family suggests donations to Bass River Inc., 437 Essex Street, Beverly, MA 01915.
