Kathryn M. Tucker, 60, passed on to her eternal home Friday, March 15, 2024, due to complications of ALS, with family by her side. She was born in Frederick on September 21, 1963 to Jay and Virginia (Palmer) Fifer. She married her high school sweetheart Michael T. Tucker. They would have celebrated their 40th anniversary in May.

Kathie graduated from Middletown High School and earned an Associate's degree from FCC. She worked in bank operations, the school system, healthcare and two church offices.

Kathie attended and was active in several churches throughout her lifetime. She especially enjoyed Bible study in recent years.

She also enjoyed activities and hobbies including walking, gardening, reading, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, bike rides on the C & O canal, trips to Hersheypark, bowling, roller and ice skating, square dancing and family game nights.

Surviving in addition to her loving husband are son, Phillip, Sr. (Jaimie), grandchildren, Phillip, Jr., Emma and Grayson, sister Jayme Cline (Ray) and nephew, Matt. She was predeceased by her parents and infant daughter Hannah.

We are grateful to the care teams at UMMC-Midtown, Complete Care, Meritus Hospital, Hospice of Washington County and Doey's House, along with her family caregivers.

So sorry to read of Kathie's passing. My daughter attended Grace Trinity UCC with the Tuckers and Kathie was always so kind. My heartfelt condolences go out to Michael and Phillip as well as her nieces and nephews David, Sarah, and Robby Tucker.

Michael and Phillip, I´m so sorry to hear of Kathies passing. She was an original member of the infamous "kathy room" at GTJHS. We worked side by side for a number of years including getting thru September 11, 2001 in a newly renovated school. She was a constant in many students lives during her time there. Never doubt that she loved and adored both of you.
