She will be sadly missed by anyone who knew her.

Tucker and Cathy Lanyon of Trucksville, John B. Tucker and wife Janice of Binghamton, New York, and Joseph J. Tucker and wife Leila of Nuangola; eleven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; a sister, Mary Kane Horton of Lititz and other family and friends.
