"I first met Tracy while presenting Aviagen with the commercial beautification award. Danny Goyne, Director of Operations for Aviagen, informed us that Tracy was instrumental in the landscaping and beautification of Aviagen. Upon meeting her you could tell she was a ball of energy and when someone mentioned that she should be on our board, she jumped at the chance and we enjoyed every minute of her being a part of KAB. Great American Clean Up was the first KAB event Tracy participated in after joining the board and we were trying to figure out how to rid City Hall of red rocks that served as landscaping and Tracy said “I’ll handle it”. And she certainly did! She recruited some of her co-workers and brought in heavy equipment to remove and haul away the red rock. It was a huge undertaking but she made it seem so easy. She worked alongside us at every beautification and anti-litter event for the next two years and then her schedule prevented her from being involved. But in the time she was on our board, she made a huge impact on the organization and each of us. She was always smiling, had the sweetest spirit, was eager to help and seemed to find the greatest joy in getting dirty and planting flowers to make Albertville beautiful. KAB & I miss her greatly!"

"Tracy Beauchamp worked for Aviagen in Albertville for 9 years before her passing on March 9, 2016. She graduated from Auburn University with a Animal Science degree, she was the manager of Albertville's Aviagen Processing plant and Breeder farm. Her passion was caring for her family and her 3 children Lauren, Kaley and Cole. She loved to garden, decorate and remodel. She had taken care of all the flower decorating and remodeling of houses on our farm, and was in the process of remodeling a house on the farm that is now known as the "Tracy House". During her time at Aviagen she was in charge of the Christmas float that was in the Albertville Christmas parade. She always had a vision of the way she wanted the float to look, she would draw a plan, but the plan always changed several times before it was finished, but she always made it happen. Tracy will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. There is not a day that goes by since her passing that someone hasn't mentioned her name or has a Tracy story to tell."
