Tracey Lynn Suchey

Tracey Lynn Suchey, age 54, of Rudyard, Michigan, died on April 11, 2025. She was born on December 15, 1970, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to James and Gertrude “Trudy” (Douglas) Boileau. Tracey was raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and graduated with the Sault High School Class of 1989. After high school, she attended Lake Superior State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in business. Early in her career, she worked for the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians as a police scribe, a role she held with care and dedication. Tracey’s path took a special turn when she met Ronald Suchey while bartending at Don Dee Lanes. The two were married on September 7, 2015, beginning a joyful chapter of their lives together. In 2014, Tracey began working at Copart Auto, where she quickly proved herself to be an invaluable leader. She served as manager for the past ten years, earning respect and admiration from coworkers and customers alike. Outside of work, Tracey was full of life and love. She enjoyed cooking—especially for those she cared about—and spending time outdoors. She cherished riding side-by-side with her husband and their beloved dog, Bandit. Boating was another favorite pastime whenever the opportunity arose, but above all, nothing brought her more joy than being with her children and grandchildren. Tracey is survived by her husband, Ronald; son, Kyle (Alexas Miller) Sangster; daughters, Sydney (Chase Malkah) Suchey and Sophie Suchey; grandchildren, Karter Sangster, Kamden Sangster, Elaina Malik and Everly Malik, Trevor Laway, Chelsea Laway & Elli Laway, Gunner Henning, Henry Henning, and Finn Henning; mother, Trudy (Richard) Campbell; brother, Todd Boileau; half-brother, Chris Boileau; and step-sisters, Cheryl (Eric) Terpsma, Patti (Jim Bob) Pearson, and Jennifer Pearson; as well has her beloved dog, Bandit! Tracey was preceded in death by father, James Boileau; aunts, Bernice Douglas and Marion Mitchum; grandparents, Bernard and Gertrude Douglas and Rev. Kenneth and Loretta Boileau; and nephew, Trevor Boileau. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at the Sault Snowmobile Association Clubhouse from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM. Family Life Funeral Homes Sault Ste. Marie assisted the family with arrangements. Condolences may be left to the family at www.familylifefh.com.
