Tracey Harper Santiago

Tracey Harper Santiago, of League City, passed away on Sunday, May 26, 2019 in Galveston, Texas at the age of 47.  She was born on December 22, 1971 in Texas City, Texas and was raised in the Galveston County.

She graduated from Clear Creek High School in League City in 1990.  She received her associate degree in Science in 1994 from Alvin Junior College followed by an associate degree in Nursing from San Jacinto College and became a Registered Nurse in 1996.  She found her passion in OB/Gyn in Labor and Delivery in Harlingen, TX at Valley Baptist Medical Center.  After several years, she moved back to the Galveston area and continued her devotion to Labor and Delivery at Mainland Medical Center in Texas City and UTMB in Galveston.  She decided to pursue her Bachelor’s in Nursing at Slippery Rock University which she earned in 2005.  Several years later, she felt it was time to take the next step in her evolution as a nurse and a strong leader by pursuing a career in Nurse Management.  She decided in 2012 to return to school again, this time at Western Governor’s University to pursue her master’s degree in Nursing which she earned in 2014.  She accomplished all of this while working full time and helping raise three children.

  20. Hector and family,

    The tragic loss of Tracey is beyond comprehension but she brought so much joy to everyone that her memory will live forever in many peoples minds. To see such loving family and friends honor her would make her beam. I hate that I was unable to make her memorial service but know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever need anything do not hesitate to let me know.

  21. Dear Hector, Ethan, Noah and Mia, I send my deepest sympathy as you struggle with this awful loss. She obviously adored all of you. As the neonatologist Medical Director of the Mother Baby Unit, I worked with Tracey very closely. She was passionate about mother-baby care, and you can be proud of the leadership that she provided. I especially miss her laughter. You remain in my prayers.
