Maternal granddaughter of financier J P Morgan
F Tracy Schilling, a longtime resident of Woodside, passed away peacefully at The Sequoias Portola Valley on November 26, 2013. She was 92.
Tracy was born to Paul G and Frances T (Morgan) Pennoyer in New York NY and attended the Greenvale School on Long Island before moving with her family to live in Paris in 1937. She returned to New York to graduate from The Spence School in 1939, and attended Barnard College prior to her marriage to August H Schilling, of Woodside CA, in February of 1941.
During the war, Tracy and Aug lived with their young family in both New York City and Washington DC. The growing family moved to Atherton in 1946 and then moved to Woodside in 1954 to the home where she would raise her children and live for almost 50 years.
Tracy immersed herself in the local community, becoming active as a member of both the PTA and the Board of Trustees at Woodside Elementary School. She volunteered extensively at Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (aka Learning Ally). She was active in implementing the Woodside Library Garden, and enjoyed being a docent at Filoli. Tracy was a beloved member of Christ Church in Portola Valley for over 50 years and served on the altar guild there.
Tracy became a member of the Woodside Atherton Garden Club in 1951, where she excelled in horticulture, flower arranging, and enjoyed mentoring new members. She involved herself in projects to improve her community, receiving numerous awards and accolades for her efforts. She went on to become a nationally respected horticulturist and judge, and received a prestigious achievement award in 1988 from The Garden Club of America.
She will be remembered as a gentle force for good within her communities of Woodside and The Sequoias, where she embraced people with great generosity of spirit, unfailing kindness, and an eternally gracious presence.
Tracy is survived by her brother Robert M. Pennoyer of New York, sister Jessie P. Snyder of Burlington, Vt., brother-in-law Mike Schilling (Dianne), her three daughters, Tracy, Jessie, and Sandra, 10 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband and by her sons, Tony Schilling and Raly Schilling.
