Obituary

Tracy Ann McCann died Thursday, Jan. 16. She was 54 years old. She was born Nov. 20, 1959, in El Paso to Maryann and Dave Farquhar. A devoted daughter, Tracy grew up in El Paso, but her family later moved to Dallas, where she graduated from JJ Pierce High School in 1978. She was married to Bo McCann for 16 years and became a mother to two wonderful children in 1984 and 1987. Being a mother was always important to Tracy, and she was proud to call them hers. She dedicated her time to the kids and the home and volunteered in the PTO and as a Girl Scout Brownie Troop leader. Tracy adored animals and had a love for movies and celebrity gossip—watching the glamorous red carpet world unfold. One of her favorite Hollywood icons was Barbra Streisand. She had an eye for home décor and excelled at the art of decorating. God was always a source of comfort for Tracy, and her love for Him was unconditional. Tracy is survived by her children, daughter Kelsey McCann and son Will McCann, and her brother, Randy Farquhar, all of Dallas. Her parents preceded her in death. The memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 21, at Aria Cremation Services and Funeral Home, 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252.   Arrangements are under the direction of: Aria Cremation Service & Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252 214) 306-6700

    Last Friday I learned of the unfortunate and untimely death of your Mother and my friend Tracy. There are no words to describe the utter grief that I am feeling right now, and I cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow that has been thrust on your family as well.
    I will never forget all the fun times and laughter your Mother and I shared over the years! I learned alot from her too!
    Right now, we all are trudging through the mourning process, but with support from friends and family, I think we can find ourselves whole again. Please accept my sincerest condolences and know that I am here with you through it all if you need me.
    With Love & Sorrow,
    Sheryl Radowick

    Dear Kelsey and family:
    I am very sorry to hear about your mother’s death. It really sucks, especially her being so young. The bond between a mother and her children is like no other bond we will ever form in our lifetimes. It is simply that very special and unique. Hemingway, once said, “That the only thing a person takes with them when he/she dies it what they left behind.” In the case of your mother, I am certain she leaves behind a treasure of fond and loving memories which you, your family, and her friends will cherish forever.

    Joe

    You were a great friend to me back when we were young, a truly good friend that helped me get through some difficult times. We had reconnected a couple of years ago and it was like we had never missed a beat. You were a truly wonderful friend with a huge heart. You will be missed. I take comfort in knowing you are no longer suffering and are in a better place.
    Till we meet again,
    Randy Akin

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
