Tracy Marie Mullis

Tracy Marie (Bishop) Mullis, 45, of Monrovia, passed from this life on May 20, 2020, while in the care of St. Francis South Hospital. The first child born to Gardie and Dorothy (Spears) Bishop, she entered this world on December 19, 1974 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Raised in Mars Hill, Tracy was a playful, shy, tomboy who loved the outdoors. Attending Ben Davis High School and graduating with class of 1993, she was a cheerleader, played on the softball team, and a member of St. Ann Catholic Church. In 1993, she met her future husband, Jeff. He fell madly in love with Tracy immediately and used his “Mullis charm” to win her forever heart. They were joyously united in marriage on September 30, 1995 and started their happy family of four. Tracy’s passion for the outdoors inspired them to leave the city for the country in 2008. They settled into a simple, quiet life, where she found great pleasure growing and canning vegetables along with raising chickens. She loved Christmas and especially Black Friday shopping. A proud, loving mother, Tracy took pride in her family and everything she did in life. She was an exemplary role model, teaching her children to be genuinely good people and follow in her footsteps. Diagnosed with a rare disorder known as Wegner’s granulomatosis, Tracy dedicated her life to improving the quality of life for others suffering with the same condition. Resilient in the face of adversity, she was a selfless, committed, and diligent volunteer for patient advocacy groups across the world. She will be deeply and profoundly missed by her devoted family and friends. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Bud and Irene Bishop and Kelsie and Pauline Spears; uncle, Ted Bishop; and nephew, Justin Johnson. Along with her parents, she is survived by her husband of almost 25 years, Jeff Mullis who also is from Indianapolis; loving children, Courtney and Kendra Mullis of Monrovia; siblings, Linda Bishop (companion, Eric), Mandy Baker (husband, Drew) all of Indianapolis; and several nieces and nephews.
