Laverne Tucker Obituary


Laverne Marie Tucker

Laverne Marie Tucker was born on September 24, 1946 in San Francisco, CA and passed away peacefully with her family by her side on December 11, 2012 in Everett, WA.
Laverne was an endearing friend to everyone she met. Many will remember her as the fashionable hair stylist with her famous "Batman" hair-do pictured in the local paper in the 1960's. She owned Hair Safari in Marysville where she continued to do hair until her retirement.
Laverne is survived by her sisters, Darlene West and Joy Hunt; sons, Brady (Angie) Blankenship, Brett (Carrie) Blankenship; grandchildren, Luke, McRae, Wyatt, Lily and Katie; and several nieces, nephews and friends.
A celebration of her life will be held at the Lake Stevens Fire Conference Center from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, January 5, 2012.
Remembrances may be made to The Sisters of Providence, Lake Stevens Fire Department or a charity of choice.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Laverne was a wonderful friend and exceptional boss. I had the pleasure of being both to her for 25 years. She was a compassionate woman who, in life, had many fine qualities. A great mentor to our son who thought the world of her too.I was fortunate to have been given that time with her, and her family and friends. I will miss her spontaneous wit and charm. May God Bless her and hold her in his loving arms as she walks with him in heaven. I will miss you my friend, for always.......With Love
