Tracie Kae Chounard, age 64, passed away with both her daughters by her bedside in Bradenton, Florida. She will be remembered for her fun-loving, outgoing personality and the joy she brought to the lives of those around her.
Tracie was born on October 3, 1961, in Hennepin County to Jon and Kae Beecher. She graduated from high school in Buffalo, Minnesota, in 1980. She started working at Starkey Hearing Company shortly after and was employed there until 2020. Tracie moved to Palmetto, Florida to be closer to her father in October, 2020.

Tracie loved to travel and enjoyed camping with family and friends. She was happiest when surrounded by the people she loved. She especially cherished being a grandmother and loved spending time with her grandchildren and seeing pictures of their everyday lives and adventures. Her family and her dog Bella was her source of great pride and joy.

Tracie is survived by her two daughters, Jessica (Matt Kowalski) and Amanda (Shane Nelson); her father, Jon Beecher; her brother, Scott (Paula) Beecher; and her three beloved grandchildren, Sydney, Lucas, and Lyla. She is also survived by many other family members and dear friends who will miss her dearly.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Kae Beecher; aunt, Anita Mattson; uncle, Gary Mattson; and grandparents, Ray and Francis Mattson and Moses and Jeanette Beecher.

Tracie’s laughter, warmth, adventurous spirit, and love for her family will live on in the memories of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
