Tracy Lynn Beltz was born March 21, 1968 in Iowa City, the daughter of Robert G. and Nellie Joanne (Begley) Beltz. Following high school she pursued further education in the food service profession. She has worked in this field for most of her adult life, working at the University of Iowa, Windmill Point and for the last 5 years at Casey’s in Amana. It goes without saying, she was a good cook and baker, her family and friends would attest to this! Tracy loved her cats, enjoyed mushroom hunting, reading, playing the role of the family prankster and jokester, but most of all she loved her family, especially being Grandma! Her family includes her daughters, Tiffany Wray-Kinney, and Brittany Fields; grandchildren, Chase, Taylynn and Malakai; Tracy’s mother, Joanne Beltz, and siblings, Judy Geiger (Willard), Terry Beltz (Suzanne), and Larry Beltz (Melanie); and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Robert; and her favorite furbaby, Broski.
