Tracy Lynn (Page) Staton was born September 9, 1950, and passed peacefully from this life on July 4, 2020, at her home in Groesbeck, Texas. Tracy was the fifth generation born in Montgomery County and grew up in Cut and Shoot, Texas. She graduated from Conroe High School in 1969 and married her high school sweetheart, Donald Staton, on May 5, 1972. She was the first baby born in the newly-organized First Baptist Church of Groceville. She grew up in the church and gave her life to Christ as a teenager. She was a member of the church until moving to Mexia and Groesbeck when Donald’s job transferred him to that area. Tracy was employed by Central Freight Lines in Customer Service, retiring after thirty-one years with the company. She loved life. She loved camping and as a child went on many camping trips with her parents. She and Donald enjoyed RVing during their retirement years. The place they liked to go the most was to South Padre Island where Tracy loved walking on the beach, kayaking, and fishing for Redfish. She also loved Scuba diving in Cozumel, riding ATVs in the Colorado mountains, motorcycle rides with Donald, and riding mules with her younger brother. But most of all Tracy loved spending time with her 3 precious grandsons, Lewis, Christopher, and Lane.
