Tracey A. DeSantis

Tracey A. "Cutes" DeSantis (nee Vinci), age 58, of East Nantmeal, PA, passed away on August 11, 2025.

Born in 1966, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Carole (nee Westerkamp) Vinci. Tracey was the beloved wife of Wayne T. DeSantis; loving mother of Matthew Charles DeSantis; dear sister of Charles Vinci; cousin of Erica Madden; niece of Sharon Rourke; sister-in-law of Renee Jeacoma (Andy); caring aunt of Hadley and Cammy; friend of Andrew; also survived by her dog, Peanut.

In her 36 years of marriage, Tracey was a loving wife and devoted partner. She took immense pride in her role as a mother. Tracey had a unique ability to connect with others. Her heartfelt laughter and loving nature made her a friend to all, ensuring that everyone who crossed her path felt valued and cherished. Tracey embodied the same love and devotion in her work as a Medical Technologist where she cared for countless others with a keen focus for detail.

Tracey’s spirit was as vibrant as the beauty she created in all that surrounded, be it the gardens she lovingly tended, people she met blossoming with beauty, or decorating spaces to bring warmth and joy to her home. She poured her heart into every endeavor. A self-proclaimed dog lover, she found joy in the companionship of her cherished pups.

Tracey traveled the world on meticulously planned adventures leaving no stone unturned while capturing memories of breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures. Each journey was a testament to her zest for life. Whether it was the thrill of a casino, or a miles long journey intent on finding the best dessert shop, she poured her heart into every endeavor. She will be missed dearly.
