Tacy Mildred (Coon) Brackett was born on June 17, 1897, at Farina, Illinois, and died on October 30, 1987, at San Diego, California.
Tacy was the first of three daughters born to Rev. David Burdett and Cordelia Evangeline (VanHorn) Coon. Her father served as pastor and missionary in many areas of the United States and was the first Seventh Day Baptist missionary to Jamaica. She graduated from high school in Battle Creek, Michigan; attended Milton College, Milton, Wisconsin, 1918-1920; and became a graduate nurse in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1927.
On June 24, 1930, she was married to William Raymond Brackett at Riverside, California. Until his death in 1963, they made their home mainly at Manhattan, Kansas, where he taught in the college. She lived for several years at Boulder, Colorado, retiring in San Diego. While in Kansas, Tacy served as organist for the First Baptist Church, but always maintained her ties with Seventh Day Baptists.
Survivors are two daughters, Mary Cordelia Vandagriff of Bynum, Alabama, and Gladys Beulah Nixon of El Toro, California; one son, Raymond Burdett Brackett of San Diego; 11 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one niece.
Following cremation, her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean by her children and family on November 14, 1987.
