Tracey Yvonne Hutchinson

Tracey Yvonne Hutchinson was born in Jersey City, New Jersey on December 4th, 1962, the third child to the late Sam Hutchinson Jr. and Mary Lucille (Hooks) Hutchinson. On the early evening of June 14th, Tracey peacefully transitioned from here to join her Heavenly father. Knowing the life that Tracey lived, we all can imagine that she was welcomed with opened arms.

Tracey was raised in Jersey City, along with her six siblings. While growing up in Jersey City, Tracey attended Public School 17 and William L. Dickerson High school. After graduating from high school, Tracey attended St. Peter's College. There, she received the education and skills to prepare her for the various jobs and career opportunities. She began her career as a certified nurse assistant at St. Ann’s Nursing Home. Years later, she was gainfully employed with Banker’s Trust and Paine Webber. In 2003, Tracey joined the Treasury Department of the City of Jersey City.  During her nineteen years there, she successfully worked her way up to become a department supervisor, which she truly loved.

As a young adult, Tracey accepted the Lord Jesus as her personal savior. She faithfully served fellowship at Jerusalem Baptist church of Jersey City, Holy Ghost Tabernacle Ministers, Faith Temple Baptist church. It was at Holy Ghost Tabernacle Minister where she met her loving husband, Alfred Robinson. During her final years, she was a devoted Christian member at Promise Land Baptist Church of Newark, New Jersey, under the leadership of Rev. Arthur S. Long. It was also there where she married the love of her life.

Tracey enjoyed and loved cooking, baking, and being around her family and friends. Most of all, she cherished her Jasmine and truly loved spending time with her grandchildren. They all provided her with plenty of laughter and heartfelt love.

Tracey will definitely be missed for her many delicious desserts, warm smiles, great conversations, and keeping it real with folks. In addition, she will be missed for those final words to us all, “See you later alligator.”
