The Ottawa-born author, journalist, filmmaker and producer died at Princess Margaret Hospital as a result of breast cancer. She was only 49, but in her all-too-brief life and career accomplished much.

She will be greatly mourned by her husband Peter Raymont, son Liam Tracey-Raymont, mother Yolande Tremblay, brother Paul Tracey, mother-in-law Mary Ward Raymont and her dear aunts, uncles, cousins and brother and sister-in-law.

She will also be missed by countless friends across the country and overseas, many of who had the pleasure of working on her many award-winning publishing and broadcast projects for, among others, CBC, TVO, CTV, History Television, Channel 4 and Toronto Life .

The underlying theme of her articles, books, documentaries and drama was to champion those who are often ignored, underestimated and forgotten and to celebrate those who rise above disadvantage.

The Anatomy of Burlesque: The Embodied Passion of Lindalee Tracey
Story by Kathleen Cummins that appeared in TAKE ONE Magazine, March 2004
With every ounce of my love I wish our son Liam a lifetime of meaning and prosperity. This century is yours, Liam. Take care of our country and the dreams of poor people. Work diligently for justice and human rights, appreciate what you've borrowed and remember that all of us share the commonest root. It is an inheritance to be proud of, not to be ignored.
