Joseph Gerald Tucker

Services for Joseph Gerald Tucker were 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 8, 2002 at the 
Chapel of the Garden at Rice Funeral Service. Rev. B.G. Guthrie officiated. 
Burial followed at Lone Elm Cemetery in Claremore. 

Joe passed away on Sunday, May 5, 2002. He was 68 years old. 

Born in Dallas on Dec. 11, 1933 to Jesse and Anna Stepp Tucker, Joe was reared 
and educated in Corpus Christi. 

After his school years, he attended tech school 
in Beaumont, Texas. 

He then served in the Navy until an injury ended his naval 
career. Receiving an honorable discharge, Joe began his career as an 
electrician. 

He was employed in this field in several different Texas cities, 
including Houston and Corpus Christi, as well as Inola and Tulsa in Oklahoma. 

In June of 1961, Joe and Mary Elizabeth Donnell were married in Memphis and made 
their home for almost 20 years in Corpus Christi. Two children were born to this 
union. 

Joe enjoyed Southern gospel music and sang in his church choir. He loved 
animals, particularly cats and dogs. 

A move to Claremore in 2001 brought Joe closer to his children, who both resided 
here. 

He loved garage sales, collecting things and shopping. 

A courageous fighter who loved life, his survivors include his children, Joe 
Tucker and wife Sandra, and Vicki Williams and her husband J.D., all of 
Claremore; stepson, 
James K. Tucker and wife Henny of Fresno, Texas; grandchildren, Joshua and 
Matthew Tucker, Janessa and Melynda Williams, all of Claremore, Tammy Tucker of

Mary Tucker of Claremore; cousin, J.O. Tucker of Tulsa; and other cousins not 
living nearby; one nephew and four nieces. He was preceded by his parents; two 
sisters, Daffodee Tucker and Mildred Timmerman; and two brothers, Jack Tucker 
and James E. Tucker Sr.
