Tracy Cordova Doyle Memorial
Tracy was a giving person and that was evident in the time she gave to her second and longtime home Virginia Ballet Company, where she trained, performed, raised funds for and taught classical ballet. From a young child until two months before her passing Tracy was involved with Virginia Ballet substitute teaching, helping with rehearsal and even planned to reprise her role as the Evil Queen in the spring show of Snow White. During her time at Virginia Ballet Tracy discovered her love for teaching young children and made the decision to go back to school. So she applied to George Mason University to earn her teaching degree. A few weeks after being diagnosed with brain cancer she received her acceptance letter in the mail. Excited and armed with her “I’ve got this…I can do this” attitude of determination she enrolled for fall semester classes.
