Tracy Ann Gruse, 65, of Osceola, passed away peacefully on her birthday, August 11, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

Born in Muskegon, Michigan, to the late Dale and Evanell (Jones) Taylor, Tracy was a proud graduate of Rogers High School, Class of 1978.

Tracy dedicated 22 years of service to Comprehensive Dental in Elkhart, from which she had recently retired. She will be remembered for her deep love for her family and friends, her cherished pets—especially her cats and dogs—and her kind and gentle spirit.

She is survived by her granddaughter, Madeline Gruse; her sisters, Barbara L. Krueger of Michigan City and Laurie J. (Tim) Bailey of La Porte; her brother, Terry W. (Mary Ann) Taylor of Michigan City; as well as her step-sons and their families; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family who will miss her dearly.

In accordance with her wishes, no services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers, donations made in Tracy's memory are encouraged to be to an organization/charity close to your heart.
