Marilyn Louise Tucker, born October 23, 1949 in Mesa, Arizona passed away on September 14, 2022 at Christus Santa Rosa Hospital and Medical Center after fighting a tenacious battle with cancer.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Willis E. Tucker and Josephine Marie Tucker and her brother Joe Edward Tucker.  She is survived by her brother Willis Eugene Tucker (Staley Rose) and her nephew Kristopher Scott Tucker (Jennifer) and great nephews Kaleb and Brogan and great niece Mila, and numerous cousins.

A very special thanks to Norma, Teddy and Fred for the love and concern they revealed to Marilyn in the past years as she fought the brave fight.  They brought her joy, happiness and comfort and her family is eternally grateful.

Marilyn loved to crochet, embroidery and quilt.  Her expertise in these areas was demonstrated by her ability to sell her beautiful creations. She loved to read and to fish and spent many hours with Teddy on the lake enjoying the peace and serenity of early morning fishing expeditions.  Marilyn cherished the memories and friends of her high school years and worked with others to bring the two together.

An extremely organized individual with an eye to detail, she helped plan and execute reunions where these memories could be shared.  For many years she made crafts (yard art and wind chimes) and sold them at the Hummingbird Festival in Rockport, Texas.  She loved house plants and with that green thumb she possessed, Marilyn nurtured African violets and most recently succulent plants. In prior years Marilyn had gardens and loved to show others the huge tomatoes she was able to grow.

Our sweet Marilyn will be missed.  Her passing has left a void in the hearts and minds of the people she loved and who loved her.  Our loss is Heaven's gain and as she walks those hallowed halls, we know God is smiling upon her and she is at peace.

Because there will not be a memorial service, please share your thoughts and memories of Marilyn in the guestbook so that others might see Marilyn as you have seen her.
