She attended her senior year at Monroe High School, graduating in 1989, but her preceding education was in Oklahoma. She married the love of her life, Ronald James Riehle, Jr. on November 2, 1990. He is the son of Shirley Howell of Monroe and Ronald Riehle, Sr. of Farwell, MI.

She will be dearly missed by her adoring dogs, Scooter, Chloe, Yzerman and Gulliver who comforted and delighted her constantly. Tracey was an excellent basketball player during her school years, both in Monroe and Oklahoma and later on, coached several teams around Monroe, including her own daughters’. Tracey was an avid reader and loved music of many genres, but aside from treasured family time with her husband and daughters, she immensely enjoyed playing cards. Penny Ante poker and especially, Euchre tournaments were her specialties. She initiated many card parties which gave her additional quality time with her parents and extended loved ones. The word “family” in its’ purest definition, was of the utmost importance to Tracey. Services will be held on Sunday, June 14, 2015 at Bacarella Funeral Home, 1201 South Telegraph Road, Monroe, Michigan. Memorial visitation will be held 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A memorial service will then begin at 5:00 PM, with Rev. Roy Southerland officiating. The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Humane Society (donor’s choice of city) and the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, 5605 Monroe Street, Sylvania, Ohio 43560. Because of Tracey’s devotion to the University of Michigan sports teams, the family is requesting that the memorial service be a celebration of her life, and as such, they would like to see plenty of maize and blue at the memorial service.
