On August 10, 2020, Margye Jean Tucker passed away in Wolfe City, TX, at the age of 92. after a brief illness.

Margye was born to Frank and Franke Tracy on January 11, 1928, in Ravenna, NE. She met her future husband, Wallace (Wally) Tucker, at Golden High School in Golden, CO. They married on January 29, 1944, in Corpus Christi, TX, where Wally was stationed in the US Navy. They subsequently resided in Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and Oklahoma before moving to Dallas, TX, in 1955, and finally, settling in the Webb Hill community of Wolfe City, TX, in 1978. They were married for 54 years and, together, they raised five children.

She leaves as her legacy four children: Wallace Edward Tucker (Barbara Tucker, spouse), Sandra L. Pack (Randall W. Pack, spouse), Lonnie Kay Tucker and Martin David Tucker (Sharon Tucker, spouse). She also leaves a sister, Yolanda (Lonnie) Baugh, a sister-in-law, Patricia Tracy, ten grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.

Her children remember her as a loving person who always found the best in every individual she encountered along her way, a lifelong music enthusiast and a frequent soloist with sequential church choirs. Most recently, she was a member of Wolfe City United Methodist Church and was a member of the choir. She began a real-estate career in 1979. Margye served as Vice President of the Hunt County Board of Realtors in 1985 and subsequently President in 1986.  After concluding her real-estate career, Margye received ordination as lay speaker for the Methodist Church from 2002 to 2012.  For several years afterwards Margye was District President of the United Methodist Women.
