Adrienne M. Tracy, age 81, of Three Rivers, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 19, 2024 in Chicago while visiting family.
She was born July 17, 1942, in Chicago, the daughter of Connie and Bernice (Obszarny) Szczublewski.
Adrienne and her future husband, Ronald Tracy, grew up in the same neighborhood; in a classic case of a “good girl” meeting a “bad boy,” the pair fell in love and eventually were married 47 years prior to his passing.
Caring, loving, and super funny, Adrienne was a wonderful mother to her eight children.
She loved to cook, especially pierogies and chop suey. At Easter her family feasted on Polish sausage, kielbasa, eggs, and ham. She carried on all the traditions from her mother and passed them on to her children and theirs.
Following Ron’s retirement from the fire department, he and Adrienne moved to Long Lake near Three Rivers, where her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren made many memories swimming, boating, fishing, and camping out. She loved taking boat rides and watching all the excitement.
Remaining to cherish her memory are three sons, Jeffery Tracy, Bryan (Kathleen) Tracy, and Patrick Tracy; four daughters, Deborah Kiaulakis, Nannette (James) Foghino, Sharon (Darrin) McCarthy, and Colleen (Vincent) McAndrew; daughter-in-law, Sherry Tracy; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ron Tracy; her son, Dwayne Tracy; and all her sisters and brothers.
Visitation will be held Saturday, May 25, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at Hohner Funeral Home, 1004 Arnold St., Three Rivers. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:00 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 645 S. Douglas Ave., Three Rivers, with Fr. R. Mathias officiating. She will be laid to rest at Poe’s Cemetery.
