The Berrien Press - July 2, 2008
 Catherine Meyer Tucker, 82, of the West Berrien community died June 22, 2008 
at Berrien County Hospital.
 Born June 16, 1926 in Nashville, she was the daughter of the late Herman and 
Betty Pitts Meyer. After graduating from Nashville High School in 1943, she 
went to Washington D.C. and worked at the Pentagon in the chemical warfare 
department until the end of WWII. She returned home, was a homemaker, and in 
1948 began producing Brahman livestock with her husband, the late Lindsey Mack 
Tucker. This venture is now the largest Brahman farm operation in Georgia. At 
age 65, she fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a librarian. She worked 
at Carrie Dorsey Memorial Library for the next 17 years, serving as branch 
manager at the time of her death. With determination and devotion, she worked 
one half day at the library on the day of her brain surgery in Atlanta in March 
of this year. She was a member of Wayside Missionary Baptist Church.
