Tracy Ann Ettinger passed away on July 21, 2024 at age 60 after a long, hard-fought battle with breast cancer. She was born September 9, 1963 in Montebello, CA to Ivan and Marian Sandler, and was the youngest of four children. As a child growing up in La Mirada, Tracy was a model student, athletic, well-liked, and active in the local BBG chapter. At La Serna High School in Whittier, CA, she was a member of the student senate, involved in the drama program, and graduated with honors in 1981. She then earned her bachelor’s of science degree in electrical engineering from UCLA with honors in 1986. Tracy married the love of her life and best friend, Marc Ettinger, in Dove Canyon, CA in 1992. In 1996 she obtained a certificate in interior and environmental design through UC Irvine, which helped launch a new career path. With an exquisite eye for detail, and a love of minimalism and modern design, Tracy helped bring her distinct artistic point of view into residential and commercial spaces as a successful interior designer. Her passion was the mid-century home she shared with her husband and beloved dachshunds (Ruby, Indy, Reese, CeCe, Joey, and Journee).
