Tracy Rye passed away on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at the age of 63 years. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Lynnea Rye (Vicki Walsh), of Airdrie, AB; grandson Matthew Rye-Del Rio, of Calgary, AB; granddaughter Morgan McBride, of Calgary, AB; mother Dorothea Lambert, of Calgary, AB; siblings, Dennis THompson (Valerie), of Wainwright, AB, Max Lambert (Val), of Montrose, Scotland, Reg Lambert (Beth), of Alabama, USA, Jennifer Lambert, of Brights Grove, ON, Rick Lambert (Anne), of Calgary, AB, and Bobby Z Lambert, of Silverton, Australia; numerous nieces and nephews, and many more family and friends. She was predeceased by her father Maxwell Lambert, daughter Christina Rye and aunt Pat.

Tracy was an amazing mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She had 2 beautiful daughters Lynnea and Christina, Two amazing grandchildren Matthew and Morgan and her daughter in-law Vickie who were all her whole world.

Tracy loved the outdoors, camping and fishing. She once caught and released a couple hundred pound sturgeon, which took just over 2 hours to reel in. Tracy had a love for fast cars, she was very lucky to have drove the racetrack with Nascar. She was so very proud to carry her nascar license.

Tracy taught strength, humility, determination and how to problem solve and how to be an independent thinker even from an early age. Tracy had a joy of life, tested limits and lived as she wanted to live. Her choice her life. That was true to her last day and that in life is very enviable. Tracy would be sure to let you know when you misbehaved even if you weren’t her own child.

Tracy’s love for all animals was beyond the scope of the imagination. She has had a total of 25+ pets she gave the best life to in 45 years. Tracy fed and made friends with any animal that came along including and not limited to , squirrels, rabbits, birds, skunks, mice. She has squirrels that come to the window until she sees them and she would bring peanuts and hand feed them.

Tracy was full of love, fire, sassiness. She will be missed by everyone who had the opportunity to have her in their lives.

Tracy can rest easy now with her beautiful daughter Christina.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Unit 93 at Rockyview General Hosptial, especially Brendan, Kate and Annie, for the exceptional care shown to Tracy. A Celebration of Tracy's life will be held at a later date. If friends so desire, in memory of Tracy, the family encourages you to adopt a pet or plant a tree.
