Tracy Swint Cupp Bickel, 52, passed away peacefully Friday, July 12, 2019, at New Hanover Regional Medical Center after a lengthy illness with her mother at her side.
She was born Sept. 8, 1966, in Fayetteville. She was a graduate of New Hanover High School, Class of 1984.
She had a heart as big as Texas, and she never met a stranger. She had a smile that would light up any room.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Mike Gorton.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory her beloved mother, Fran Holland Reed; her children, that she loved so dearly, Mikaela Cupp of Roswell, Georgia, and Hannah Blanton and John Michael Cavanaugh, both of Wilmington; father, Kenny Swint of Barnesville, Georgia; two very special uncles and aunts, Ralph Holland Jr. (Connie) and Harvey Holland (Marsha), all of Wilmington; and many cousins and friends. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, and she will live in our hearts forever.
A memorial service will be held at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, July 25, at the Wilmington Funeral Chapel.
In life, Tracy and her brother Mike had a very strong brother and sister bond; in death, that bond will live on as their ashes unite in the ocean at Wrightsville Beach.
