Tracy was the daughter of William Moroni Gibson and Phebe Elizabeth Woolf. Tracy's early life was in Idaho, but after her mother got frustrated with a terrible winter there, she took her five children and moved back to Hyde Park where she had grown up. Tracy lived in her maternal grandparents home along with her Uncle Andrew, who was like a father to her since her own still lived in Idaho with his second wife (who was Tracy's Aunt Harriet). Tracy was baptized on her eighth birthday in the Hyde Park Spring by Benjamin Hymas. Tracy was known in Hyde Park for her beauty and was chosen as representative for the city to be a contestant in a beauty contest for the county. She took an interest in history, historical novels and dramas, but was only able to attend school up to the eighth grade. Tracy was also known for her excellent singing voice and often sang in choirs, operettas, and dramas. She loved to play the guitar, piano, and organ which talents she passed on to her children.
George and Tracy were married September 27, 1899 in the Logan Temple in Logan, Utah by the Apostle Marriner Merrill. Together they had six children, including two sets of twins. Tracy was kind and patient and stayed home and cared for their children.
Tracy was not blessed with good health. At the age of twenty-one she was operated on for typhoid fever, and suffered from diseased tonsils all of her life. In 1936 she became ill with bronchitis while George was away in Idaho. She was cured, but an infection caused her goiter to become more toxic, and after much suffering she passed away on January 8, 1937.
