Obituary

Traci Gale Williamson-Mangiaracina, born November 25th, 1969, to Toni Gale Traywick and Billy Ray Traywick, passed away on August 31, 2026, due to a brief and unexpected illness. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, raised in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Traci was a light in every life she touched.

Traci graduated from Lee’s Summit High School in 1988. She went on to receive an associate’s degree through MCC and then chose her life path: cosmetology. Following in her mother’s footsteps, Traci had a passion for making people look and feel beautiful. She was a Cosmetology instructor and Master Barber.

Traci is remembered as the loudest personality in the room–larger than life itself. Her love language was gift-giving; Some may call her a shopaholic. She was crafty and loved sharing her creations with anyone she could. In every way, Traci was the life of the party–a light in the night sky. She also loved her dogs dearly: Cali and Fatty (adequately named).

Traci was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents, her father, Billy Ray, her granddaughter, Camila Link, her uncle, John Franco, and her aunt, Billie Williams.

She is survived by her husband, Frank Mangiaracina, her parents, Toni Parker and Paul Parker, her children, Aspen, Emma, Do’Mino, Alison, Krystian, and Lincoln, her sister Kaci Traywick-Johnson (Charles), her nephews, Coltan (Monique), Cody, Carson, and Cirrell, her great-nephews Aiden and Atlas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many other loved ones.

The services will be on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at Langsford Funeral Home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, with visitation from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Services will begin at 2 p.m. Graveside services immediately following at Greenwood Cemetery.
