Mrs. Tracy Leigh Malone, age 37 of Cedartown, Georgia, passed away Dec. 21, 2012. She was born Dec. 26, 1974, in Cobb County, Georgia.
She was above all, a loving mother of four wonderful children, devoted wife and daughter. Her love for life was unmistakable through her kind smile, encouraging words and her will to live. Her battle with cancer touched many lives and will continue to encourage many more through her foundation. She enjoyed many things in life but nothing more than hearing her children laugh and seeing them smile.
Mrs. Malone was the editor and owner of The Roping Pen magazine. She promoted the sport of team roping and worked hard to make her publication one of the most recognized in the industry.
Mrs. Malone is survived by her loving husband, John David “JD” Malone; children John Brody Malone, Cooper Braiden Malone, Tyler Clay Malone and Briley Ann Malone; parents Jerry Donald and Carol Ann Montgomery Tillison; brother and sister-in-law, Christopher Michael Tillison and Angela Tillison; and nephews, Gavin Tillison and Cash Tillison.
In keeping with Mrs. Malone’s wishes she was cremated. A memorial service was conducted Dec. 26, 2012. at the Second Baptist Church with Rev. Patrick Latham, Rev. Brad Perry and Mr. JD Malone officiating.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Tracy Tillison Malone Foundation at Cedartown Regions Bank, 120 N. Main St., Cedartown, GA 30125, for cancer patients and their families.
