Traci Ann Kinsler Gudger

Traci Ann Kinsler Gudger, 59, of Easley, SC, a beacon of warmth and joy in the lives of those who had the privilege to know her, departed from this world and ran straight into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

Traci was known for many wonderful things - her love for Christmas, her love for her family, her love for her friends, and her love for her Father in Heaven.

Traci’s love for animals spoke volumes about her nurturing soul. Anything with fur brought her pure happiness, marking her as a friend to all creatures. The beach was a sanctuary for her; it was here, with her toes in the sand and the company of friends and family, where she found peace and joy. And oh how she loved the annual family gatherings in “the country” on the banks of the Clinch River in Tennessee.

Above all, Traci’s greatest pride lay in her marriage to John and in her son, Jacob. The bond this family shared was woven with endless love. Family time was sacred to Traci, representing her ultimate fulfillment in life - nothing mattered more to her than the moments spent with those she adored.

With a vast heart that could envelop anyone she met, Traci made friends effortlessly, forging connections that will be remembered in the hearts of many. Her absence leaves a void that will echo through the lives of those fortunate enough to experience her love. Traci’s spirit will forever resonate in the legacy she leaves behind - a vivid tapestry of warmth, laughter, and cherished traditions that will continue to inspire joy in all those who loved her.

Traci is survived by her husband, John, her son, Jacob, brother, Donald Kinsler (Julia), brother Scott Kinsler (Sharon), brother Joe Kinsler (Cindy), numerous nephews, nieces, great nephews, and great nieces.

Traci is predeceased by her mother Norma Jean Barnett Kinsler and her father, Donald Morris Kinsler.

The family will host a memorial service to be held at 2:00 PM Sunday, November 2, 2025 at 5 Point Church. Known for her amazing and contagious sense of humor, Traci chose to be cremated because she said “that will be the last chance of me having a smoking hot body”.
