Traci Ann Ralston

January 15, 2021

In loving memory of Traci Ralston, a shining light who showed love to everyone she met. She left an unmistakable impression on those who knew her. She was a kind, humble soul who loved without abandon or expectations. Traci fought a valiant battle against acute pancreatitis along with numerous complications which arose during her recent hospitalization. She left us to become a heavenly spirit on January 15th at the young age of 50 when she could fight no more. The world is a better place because of her loving presence, and she truly blessed those around her. Traci will be deeply missed by her husband, Phillip Ralston; her mother and father; Jenna and Donald Shepherd; sister, Jennifer Newman-Erickson (Beth); nephew, Chase Newman; and her furbabies, Bella , Ana, and Kiedis. Sadness also fills the hearts of her mother and father in law, Shirley and Wilburn Ralston; brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews in law. She was blessed with a goddaughter, Jordyn Brown; a sister (friend) Jill Gaither; and niece (friend) Jameka (Peaches) Flournay. She leaves behind many close friends whom she loved and are too numerous to mention. Gracie met her at Rainbow Bridge and they joined her Grandmama, Dr. Dorothy Fleetwood Davis; her Granddaddy, Gerd Erich Kratz; and her Aunt Kathy (Newman). Traci, formerly of Tuscaloosa County Alabama, resided in Conyers, Georgia, and was a former employee of BellSouth/AT&T (20+ years) where she held various positions. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Best Friends Animal Society or the National Pancreas Foundation.
