September 28, 1965 to July 24, 2023
Traci was born in Tacoma to Fred and Mildred Miles. The first six or so years of her life were spent growing up on military bases, and then finally settling down in the small town of Galvin. These are the years Traci made the friends that are still her family to this day. Tami and Shelley … You are very loved.
On August 17, 1985, Traci married the love of her life, Craig. Within a few months their son Crisstopher was born. Traci's family continued growing with friends through work, old school mates, muddin' in the trucks, and drag racing on the tracks.
No one was ever a stranger to Traci, her compassion was spread helping anyone she came across. She treated everyone as family.
Traci lived for outdoor activities in the fresh air including camping, fishing, gardening, walks, adventures at swap meets and those trying sister trips. The places she felt most passionate about were at the beach, the racetrack, and anywhere she could bring her dogs.
Traci was a loving wife of 38 years; a mom to Crisstopher; and Namma to Alex, Zander, and Finnegan.
Family was the most important thing in life to Traci. She is survived by her husband Craig; her son Crisstopher; and her grandsons Alex, Zander and Finnegan; her brother Clarion, her sisters Vickie and Fran; her aunts Mary and Martha; and her uncles Bill, Norm, Tom, and Bob.
Traci has now joined her parents Fred and Mildred, grandparents Clarion and Mary Brown, her brother Fred Miles Jr., the Benching’s dad and mom Earl and Beverly, her brother Eric, as well as her sisters Carla and Colleen. Generations of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and grandparents are both survived and freshly acquainted with Traci.
We would like to extend special thanks to all family and friends that have reached out during this time. No words can express our thoughts for Kylee, Fran and Frank for all of the help and support they have provided. Russ, you have become a part of our family.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.sticklinsfuneralchapel.com for the Miles-Bensching family.
