Tracy L. Pentak

Tracy Pentak, 59, of Altamont lost her battle with cancer on Saturday, August 09, 2025. Tracy was a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter and a friend. She was the bright light in the lives of so many. She loved her family and friends fiercely and had an unwavering love and devotion for her husband Bill of 34 years and her son Tyler.

Tracy enjoyed traveling with her family with her grand finale to Italy in February. Thanks to her son Tyler she found joy in Legos. Always ready for the next Marvel movie, new craft project or idea, any computer challenge, and especially cuddling with the dog. She was always the first to offer a helping hand and brought love and laughter wherever she went.

Tracy, a graduate of Guilderland High School and Albany Business College, retired from New York State service after more than 36 years where she enjoyed beta testing her new Halloween recipes on those she worked with.

Tracy is survived by her devoted husband Bill and their son Tyler; her mother, Theresa Harper and predeceased by her father, Victor Harper; survived by brothers Thomas (Kimberly) and Victor and sisters Lin and Lorie; sisters-in-law Nancy, Karen (Thomas), Sandra (Steven) and many nieces and nephews.
