On Dec 28, 1943 she married Silby Tucker, a union that was to endure for the next 75 plus years. After raising a family of nine children, and when most having left the nest, she worked for many years at the Fish Plant in St. Anthony. A woman of many talents, educated for none.

TUCKER, HERBERT

Herbert R. Tucker

March 18th, 1947–March 18th, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Herbert “Herb” R. Tucker; in
his seventy-sixth year on March 18th, 2023.

He leaves to mourn, with fond and loving memories: his devoted-loving wife, Eunice Tucker. His children; son, Christopher (Heidi) Tucker, Deer Lake; daughters, Delenda (Peter) Stevens, Main Brook; Lori (Ward) Golden, Vancouver, BC. And his grandchildren; Alexandra, Lucas, Peyton, and Brittney.

Herb was a hard-working man, who had a deep love for his family, anything to do with the outdoors, and music (especially the songs by Elvis Presley). Although, he would laugh and deny it; he was a lover of sweets, especially Caramel Log Bars. It was nothing to see Herb outside working at something with a record playing in the background; building something new, whether it would be a bird house or his adored “Sugar Shack”.

Herb was a collector of many things, rocks, model cars, driftwood, the list goes on; he loved taking pictures, going on walks: experiencing everything he could. There was never a dull moment being surrounded by Herb, he never failed to put a smile on someone’s face; and there was never a story he couldn’t tell, or a joke he couldn’t make up.

Herb is predeceased by his parents, Albert and Ruth (nee Simms) Tucker; his father-in-law, James Samson; his siblings, Joseph (Myrtle) Tucker, Charlotte (Frank) Lilly, Gladys (Edward) Patey, Gloria (Anthony) Notaro, Pearl (Gabez) Howell, Effie (Charles) Hewlin, Francis, Verna, and Wilfred; his sister-in-laws, Hildegard Tucker, Clara Tucker, Dolly Lavers; and his brother-in-laws, Ralph Davies, Arthur Gloster, Phillip Samson.

He is survived by mother-in-law; Mary Samson of River of Ponds; his brothers; Gord Tucker, Chris (Sheila) Tucker, Douglas (Marlene) Tucker, Edward Tucker, Robert (Wanda) Tucker; his sisters; Berdina Gloster, Annie (Robert) Poirier, Joyce Davies, Donna (Harris) Tucker, Joan (Wallace) Hoard; his sister-in-laws; Vera (Wilfred) Patey, Jean (David) Cluney; his brother-in-laws; Morris (Sheila) Samson, Deon (Danette) Samson, Gerry (Rosilyn) Samson, Melvin Lavers.

As well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. Visitation and singing will take place from the Main Brook Pentecostal Church on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 7:30 PM. His service will be officiated by Pastor Skinner at the Bethel Pentecostal Church in Main Brook, on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023 at 2:00pm.

TUCKER, LINDA

Passed away peacefully at Curtis Hospital in St. Anthony on the 13th of October 2022. Linda is Predeceased by husband (Allan) Roy Tucker; Mother Dinah Kelloway; Father Garfield Kelloway; Sister Dora Burt; Brothers Hubert Kelloway and Al Kelloway, and grandson David Saunders-Kelloway. Left to mourn: Son Dion Kelloway (Christa) Son Dereck Tucker (Jennifer) Daughter Debbie Humby (Chris) Grandchildren: Charles Humby (Cassandra), Morgan Humby ( Kayla), Megan Jones, Jack Tucker, Sam Tucker. Great grandchildren: Logan, Brooke, Brittney, and Anwen; Brother Henry Kelloway (Gladys), Also leaving to mourn: Sparkles and Luna, her loyal feline companions.

Linda’s love of all her family especially her grandchildren far and near was truly special and easily seen in how she bragged about and showed off their pictures to whoever was around.

Her joy for the holidays was true, magical, and infectious. Christmas was a special time for her and she loved all the lights, the trees and all the glittery, colourful, and musical decorations that she could find and surround herself with. The smile on her face will never be forgotten as friends and family came and went and she got to enjoy the true meaning of the Christmas season with them all.

Her detailed daily journals going back decades are a testament to how she felt about everyone. Each and every visit she received along with other daily events were documented with love. She truly impacted all those she came in contact with and will be missed by by each and every one.

Visitation will be held at the Funeral home in St. Anthony on Tuesday the 18th of October, funeral services will be held at a later date.
