Vivian Tucker
1930-2018
Vivian Florence Tucker, age 88, of Stellarton, NS, formerly
of Little Harbour, passed away at the Aberdeen Hospital Monday, August
13, 2018, after a brief illness surrounded by her family. Born March
31, 1930 in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, she was a daughter of Dorothy
Harper (Livingstone) and Howard Ross. She was the eldest of four
children, sister to Marian Heighton, May Weir and the late June
Munroe.
Vivian
worked as an administrative assistant at Fraser and Hoyt and later at
the NS Department of Mines, known to many as the “Map Lady”
where she finished her career retiring in
1990.
She
was the wife of the late Raymond (Red) Tucker from Stellarton with
whom she lovingly raised three children, Kim Grant (Ken Atkinson),
Kirby (Brenda) and Kent (Pam).
Vivian was an active community member and dedicated many
years to the AMS of the Little Harbour Presbyterian Church. She was an
avid gardener and walker who enjoyed the shore of Melmerby Beach for
many years, a passion she nurtured in her family.
Vivian
will be remembered for her gentle and graceful spirit. She had a deep
love for her family and was a devoted caregiver to many during her
life. Vivian was a loving mother and proud grandmother to her
grandchildren, Kirsten (Paul), Jacob (Violet), Ross (Yanan), Thornton,
Jameson (Stephanie), Colin and Garrett. More recently she became GG to
her great granddaughter, Vivian who was named for her.
Her
family would like to thank the Palliative Care Unit team at the
Aberdeen Hospital who cared for her in her final days.
Visitation
will be held 6-9 pm Thursday, at the R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55
Almont Ave., New Glasgow. Funeral service 1 pm Friday at the Little
Harbour Presbyterian Church, with Rev. Lorne MacLeod officiating.
Burial will be in the Church Brook Cemetery. Donations in memory of
