Tracy Lynn Staton
Tracy Lynn (Page) Staton was born Sept. 9, 1950, and passed peacefully from this life on July 4, 2020, at her home in Groesbeck.
Tracy was the fifth generation born in Montgomery County and grew up in Cut and Shoot. 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 31 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 RV-ing 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 red fish. She also loved scuba diving in Cozumel, riding ATVs in the Colorado mountains, taking motorcycle rides with Donald, and riding mules with her younger brother. But most of all, Tracy loved spending time with her three precious grandsons, Lewis, Christopher and Lane.
Tracy is preceded in death by her father, Duke D. Page.
Those who loved and will miss Tracy are her husband of 48 years, Donald E. Staton; son Donald E. Staton Jr. (wife Sabrina); grandsons Lewis Taylor, Christopher and Lane Staton; her mother, Frankie Dean Page; brothers Blaine Page (wife Becky) and Randall Page (wife Melody); sister-in-law Joan Carr (husband David); brothers-in-law Bythel Staton (wife Elaine), John Staton (wife Inez) and Robert Staton (wife Debra); there are also numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of friends who will miss her.
