Tracey Hall-Allen
Tracey Hall-Allen was a loving mother, "nana", sister, and friend. She brought so much life and light into this world. Devoted and selfless, Tracey always put her family’s happiness first. On Thursday, November 5th, 2026, she passed away unexpectedly.
Tracey was born in the once-humble town of Portsmouth, VA, on April 1st, 1969, to a Zenath Merie Hall II, and Alice Brenda Mouser.
Tracey graduated from Churchland High School, and attended various community colleges, as well as serving as a charter member of Fort Chiswell Church of God.
Tracey was filled with hope and determination. She loved deeply and possessed an infectious laugh that could make anyone smile. Some days she might not have had all the answers, but she was quick-witted and always found a solution to push forward - a true problem solver.
From the vast waves of the ocean to the green-filled mountains, and even to the chirping of beautiful forests, she was deeply attuned to nature. Tracey enjoyed speaking to the owls, admiring the long neck of a giraffe, watching the eagles, and feeding the humming birds each year. She loved the country with all her heart. Tracey also loved watching over her grandchildren, who brought her so much joy and so many beautiful memories over the years. She did everything she could to make sure they had the best childhood a kid can imagine. Tracey strived to ensure everyone was taken care of by getting them where they needed to be and ensuring they had everything that they wanted - including a full tummy, a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or that motherly hug no one could resist.
Although she is no longer here with us, her spirit and love live on in the hearts of her loved ones: Dennis Allen; her children, Michael Brickhouse, Loren Brickhouse, Seth Panzino, Zachary Panzino, Brendan Panzino, and John Panzino Jr.; followed by her grandchildren, Wyatt, Aubrey "Lady", Caylee, and Emma, along with her siblings, Zenath "Buddy" Hall III, and Amy Hall; as well as her friends and extended family. Tracey was called home to rest alongside her parents and her son Jason Panzino. May she instill in us the hope she once held, and may her light guide us all.
A celebration of life service will be conducted at a later date in the Tidewater area.
