Tricia Christine Miller

Tricia Christine (Motko) Miller went to her heavenly home on March 4, 2023. Born in Battle Creek, MI, on December 31, 1976, daughter of Michael and Christine (Chriss) Motko. She graduated Adams HS, Rochester Hills, MI, 1995, moved to Traverse City with her family and built her life. Married to Kyle Miller for ten years and they remained good coparents. Tricia worked as a Pharmacy Technician in several locations, including Munson Medical Center where she passed. She left her career to be a FT mother and opened a daycare in her home, which grew to transition to the Little School House, Centre Ice, TC. At time of passing, Tricia was a FT manager and constant presence at Lake Ann Grocery. Seasonally she was additionally employed by O'Hearn Pest Control. Tricia was a proud mother (especially hockey mom), cherished daughter, fun sister, niece, cousin, loving fiancé and loyal friend. Everyone who stepped into her life was loved and always part of the family. Her smile and blue eyes embraced life, especially her love for any beach! She left us way too soon and there will forever be a vacancy in the many lives she touched. Tricia is survived by sons, Lance and Kaleb; parents; brothers, Travis (Stacy) Motko, Tim (Becky) Motko; fiancé, Rob Johnson.
