Family pays tribute to Grantham woman who was ‘life and soul of the party’ after she was allegedly murdered
Tributes have been paid to a woman who was the “life and soul of the party” and who was “loved by everyone” following her alleged murder.
Tracie Guy, 54, was found injured at an address in Beck Gardens, Grantham, on Friday (October 10), but she sadly died despite the efforts of emergency services.
Officers have since launched an appeal for witnesses or footage of the street between 4.30pm and 5pm on Friday.
In a statement released by Lincolnshire Police, her family said "Tracie was the life and soul of the party, everyone's Auntie Tracie; mad as a box of frogs.
“You definitely knew she was there when you walked into the room.
“Tracie was loved by everyone and she will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends."
A 42-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed pending further inquiries.
He has been recalled to prison following a breach of his licence conditions.
No further arrests or charges have yet been made.
Following confirmation of her name, a number of people took to social media to pay tribute to her.
