Charles Tucker
1928-2019
On November 16th, 2019, at St.
Joseph’s Hospital, Saint John, on the occasion of his
91st birthday, Charles Freeman Tucker left his
earthly body and entered the presence of his Lord. Born in 1928, in
Kingston, NB, he was the only son of the late Edwin and Minnie
(Bolser) Tucker.
He was affectionately known as Chuck, Charlie or Charles. He was
completely devoted to his faith and family and was a loyal friend to
many. He worked as an insurance salesman as well as a milkman before
becoming a carpenter for the majority of his life. Many buildings and
homes benefitted from his quality craftsmanship. That being said, he
was truly a jack of all trades. He was a member of numerous Baptist
churches including Main Street, Tabernacle and Hampton where he was
actively engaged as a choir member, Sunday school teacher, elder,
clerk and trustee. His pastimes included oil painting, wood working
and camping at Grand Lake.
Charles is survived and remembered by his loving wife Muriel
(Reid) Tucker; sons: Stephen (Ida) Tucker of Hampton, NB, and Eric
Tucker of Fredericton, NB; daughter Shelly (David) McCready of Saint
John, NB; son-in-law Richard Gibbs; grandsons: Shawn Tucker, Ben
(Andrea) Gibbs, Chad (Jaelyn) Tucker, Zachary (Kendra) Legacy, Julian
(Kada) Legacy, and Christopher McCready; grandson-in-law Andrew Allen;
granddaughters: Katie Gibbs and Erika (Jordan) Pinksen; great
grandchildren: Lacey Allen, Cameron Gibbs, Sora Legacy, Issac Legacy
and Bentley Hamm; step-children: Richard (Sarah) Albert and Shelley
Thiessen; step-grandchildren: Grace Albert, Joe Albert, Adam Doris and
Richard Doris; as well as several nieces and nephews. In addition to
his parents, Charles was predeceased by his first wife Dorothy
(Darrah) Tucker in 1999; infant son Bruce Tucker in 1960; daughter
Charlene Gibbs in 2018; granddaughter Lisa Allen in 2018; and sisters:
Marie Hersey, Marguerite Reid, Wealthy Dean and Edwina
