Tracie “Trixie” Howe-McKeiver, beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away on July 31st surrounded by her loved ones at the age of 60 in Grand Rapids, MI.

Born in Hart, MI, Tracie lived the past 40 years in Grand Rapids with her husband, Mark McKeiver, and three children, Katie, Tony, and Jenny McKeiver. While born a Michigan State fan, she changed her allegiance when two of her children went to Michigan and died a Wolverine (and Broncos!) fan. Tracie loved watching the Lions on Sunday, going on walks with her dog Max, snuggling with her grandchildren Michael and June, hosting work-friends for Happy Hours, and spending as much time with family as possible.

A small, private ceremony will be held on Friday, August 7th. If you’d like to honor her, please donate to Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance at https://mioca.org/donate or the Grand Rapids Planetarium at https://www.grpm.org/submitdonation/
