Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce Tracy Lynn Hylton, 56, of Chester, VA passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. She was born on January 7, 1970 in Richmond, Virginia to Joan Benton Martin and the late Henry Harrison Hylton, Sr.
Tracy is preceded in death by her father, Henry Harrison Hylton, Sr.; maternal grandparents Louise B. Harper and Herbert A. Benton; paternal grandparents, James Hylton and Dollie Hylton.
Tracy is survived by her beloved mother, Joan Benton Martin; brothers, Henry Harrison Hylton, Jr. (Stacie) and Kenneth “Charlie” Hylton; stepbrother, Kirt Martin, Jr.; and will also be missed by her aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Tracy always wore a smile that could light up any room, and her laughter was truly contagious. She loved life deeply, especially her family and her beloved dog, Zach. Tracy had a remarkable gift for finding the good in every situation, teaching all of us that even in the hardest moments, there is always something positive to hold onto.
She attended Byrd High School, where she made lasting memories and friendships. Tracy also proudly participated in the Special Olympics, inspiring everyone with her determination and joyful spirit. As a poster child for cerebral palsy, she became a symbol of strength, hope, and resilience.
Tracy’s light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Rest easy sweet girl, we miss you and love you. Until we meet again!
