In loving memory of a wonderful sister. So many good memories of the Tucker girls growing up in Abilene, Texas. As the oldest of five sisters you were given the responsibility to look out for us on many occasions and you continued through out the years. So many great memories. You will be missed. Love you and miss you always.

John and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It was great getting to know you and Roberta when you played ball with my brother Ken, and for many years Roberta cut my hair as well as my mom's. Such a wonderful person.

John and Stefanie please accept our sincere condolences in the lost of your wife and mother. I started having Roberta do my hair back in the mid seventies when we moved here. Every Wednesday I enjoyed sitting and talking to her as she did my hair. I was there when you got married, Stefani, and when you had your children. The years have flown by and I missed going there when Roberta retired. My husband, Charlie, knew you, John for many years - riding car pool to the Navy Yard. We will be saying prayers for all of you as we remember Roberta. MaryEllen and Charlie Slone

My mom was an amazing woman. She was a born again Christian. She always was willing to help at church, especially decorating. My mom had a talent for decor. She loved working in her flower beds, she painted, crocheted often, and retired after 30 years as a hairdresser. She also helped me with watching my kids so I could work. She will be truly missed by lots of people. She touched so many lives over the years. My Dad John, her grandson Jacob, and her granddaughter Jaclyn, will forever hold her in our hearts and lives. Love Stefanie
