On Wednesday, November 4, 2020, Tracy Callihan Williams of Morehead, Kentucky, loving and devoted mother, daughter, sister, friend and servant, passed away at the age of 55.
Tracy was born on July 18, 1965 in Ashland, Kentucky to Bill and Jackie (Kerns) Callihan. She attended West Carter High School and Morehead State University. She was proud to be an Eagle and instilled that pride in her children. Tracy was proud to have grown up in Olive Hill and to have raised her children in Rowan County.
It has been said that if serving is beneath you, leadership is beyond you. Tracy was a devoted community servant. She worked tirelessly as the Executive Director for the Morehead Rowan County Chamber of Commerce to benefit the citizens of the community and beyond, often without thanks and most of the time behind the scenes. There are people in communities that take center stage that always seem to find a way to find the limelight. This was never Tracy. Whether she was cooking and dishing up a holiday meal at the Carl Perkins Center or hauling chairs and supplies to a picnic in the back of her truck, she was never looking for the credit. She was looking to make the world a better place and always searching to serve.
She is survived by her parents; her adoring children, Andrew (Abbey) and Hannah; her brother Jarrod Wylie (Lara Bell) of Bangkok, Thailand; and the love of her life Michael D. Smith.
A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again. – Maya Angelou
