Kimberly Tucker Obituary
I am writing my own obituary as I don't always have the right words. A longtime friend of Edward Rossel, loving mom to Brett and Cody Rossel. The last few years have meant so much and I couldn't have done it without you. My family I leave behind, father Brian Tucker and beloved (Step) mom Eva. Sister s Tanya and Sherry Tucker, Uncle Bob and Aunt Suzanne Tucker and family. My extended family, Orma Rossel, Tom (Marnie) McDonough, Tom (Jan) England, Mike and Meg, Valerie King, Corey (Danielle) King, Shayla (Ben) Girdot and Chuck (Crystal) Sadie and Sam Rossel. You have loved and supported me for years and words cannot express what that means to me.
Bonnie Quesel, Sharon (Jim) Anderson and families, you have always been part of my life and I will miss you.
Tracey Bradley Andrews and Connie Smith, you have walked this journey with me. You are my best friends. Cathy (Kevin) Hatten, thank you for helping me do what I was unable to do.
My journey with cancer has taken me through things I never imagined. I have been on the verge of death several times. It is possible to beat but you have to have something to fight for. My family and friends gave me that. I was not ready to go.
Meeting me on the other side, my mom, Marlene (Overland) Tucker, Grandparents; Myetle Overland, Cliff Overland, Edythe and Gordon Tucker.
I can't wait to see you but it comes too soon.
Cancer is scary but the love and support that I was given and the love and support my family were given meant and means so much. To all that struggling with this, talk about it and let people support you. If there are no words, just hold hands. I love you all. Thank you for making my life so rich.
Kimberly has gone to dance with the fairies and gather pretty stones.
The family will receive friends and family at the Anderson Funeral Home and Cremation Center on Saturday January 30, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. for visitation followed by a funeral service at 3:00 p.m.
Donations to the Transition of Betterness ( 3200 Deziel Dr #307, Windsor, ON ) would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Kimberly was like my mother. I met her sons, Cody and Brett in junior kindergarten, and we have been inseparable, even 12 years later. Kimberly was the most loving mother, and even pretended to be the tooth fairy for me after she had taken me to a water park and lost my tooth! I am going to miss her greatly.

Kim was the most beautiful soul I have ever had the fortune to know. Her smile lit up any room she was in, and she always faced each day with positive thoughts. Those she loved, she loved fiercely and unconditionally. She was my best friend and confidant for nearly two decades, until time and circumstance led us to drift apart, and I regret that we had not spoken for several years.
I was shocked to hear of her passing, and saddened to know I will never hear her voice again.
Cody, Brett, Tanya, Sherry, Ed and Brian, my most heartfelt condolences to you for your loss in this difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that she is never truly gone as long as we remember her.
I will miss you forever, Kim. I love you.

Last night a really wonderful person passed away. I met Kim Tucker some years ago, just after I started at Nucomm, when her mother passed away. She supported me when I needed help as my father was dying of cancer.
She became my rock when we lost our house. And then I had to support her when she lost hers.
She helped me run youth group events even when it meant taking time off work.
Kim leaves behind two teenaged boys and a husband.
Kim was diagnosed with cancer several years ago, about 2 years before Nucomm closed. She fought it right to the end.
I had the privilege to talk to her a few weeks back, we had a short call recalling good times. Her voice was so weak and thin, but she never let on how it was going. I knew it was close.
The middle room has lost 3 agents since we closed up Pam Jacobs, Sharon Baker and now Kim. Kim and Sharon to cancer and Pam to ALS.
It is so hard to type right now as I remember all the good times in the middle room I am smiling as I remember the Christmas that we had a TL turn on his heel and run from the room when he found us all laughing hysterically over a uniquely shaped ginger root.
My thoughts are with you guys are you find your way throught this.

Our condolences to the family. I was truly shocked to hear this as I have lost touch with Kim since she moved to Windsor. She was a co-worker. Kim was a strong spirit who always stood up for herself and others. Great sense of humour and wit! She will be missed. -

I came into Kim's life as her PSW..but yet learned so much from her. She had an amazing way about her that would brighten up any day. A positive attitude which she kept on a daily basis. I will dearly miss her smile and our conversations. No matter what life threw at you , you continued your smile. I surely learned something from you my friend.... may your pain be gone and may you rest in peace....Ed, Brett Cody, i am very sorry for your loss.

Everyone we meet in life changes us in some way.
Kim left us far too early, though her sparkly eyed smile, wit , intelligence and great laugh will stay with me forever. My heart goes out to Ed, Brett and Cody; Brian and Eva; Tanya and Sherry. There is no doubt she loved you with all she had.
Along with mourning her passing, we should be thankful for her existence on this earth and the gifts she has given us.

Have not talked to Kim for some time. Last time she was fighting and with much fight and positive attitude toward her cancer. At times she was comical about losing her hair and all. I was surprised she was so open and "ok" with it all. She said you have no choice but to embrace it and do what you have to do.
I met Kim in London when she accompanied her good friend Connie Smith. I did not know either of these ladies. They were there to see a performer and so was my friend and I. My friend has MS and uses a walker. There were not seats to be had. Connie and Kim were in a booth (i think there are only 3 in this place) They both invited us to sit with them as they could see my friend could use a seat. The night was fun and we met two women that were so nice and friendly and funny. I spoke to Kim a few times on facebook after that and was sad to hear she was fighting cancer. Her out look was good. We were supposed to meet up in London one of her times here . I could not make it and we had hoped to do so again with Connie as well. Life goes on and busy times happen. I wish I would have met her and Connie then or at best, made another time to make it happen.
Never knew Kim that much at all. I do know she was a loving, caring, kind woman and she mentioned her children with love
Sleep well Kim, until we meet again

To the Tucker family you and my family have my heartfelt condolences in the passing of Kim. Kim and I were and always will be friends. I am glad I was there for her and you as she battled this disease. She brought happiness to everyone who knew her. I am glad that I got to see her right after Christmas, those couple of days with myself and Kim together, not talking much just being together, I will treasure that always.

Everyone we know during our lifetime adds to our being and personality, makes us what we are. They become part of us. Rather than mourn their passing, we should be thankful for their existence on this earth and what they have given us.
Kim died too young for sure, but I loved her sparkly eyed smile, intelligence, wit and laugh and it will remain with me forever. My heart goes out to Ed, Brett and Cody, Brian and Eva , Tanya and Sherry there is no doubt she loved you with all she had. Love,

A beautiful, thoughtful, unselfish soul. My heart just warms thinking of Kim, especially when she talked about her boys; proud, her eyes had a shine and her love for them just radiated. She never ceased to amaze me with her humour, quick wit and intelligence. Kim called them as she saw them and never beat around the bush. I loved that honesty. Always so thoughtful; she would remember the little things; whether it was something you told her ages ago, something you liked, were going to do or get, Kim would remember. When she returned home from somewhere she would always have a goodie for us. When she baked, she always made a little extra for us. Kim would always call before she went into town to see if we needed anything; she was always so thoughtful. She always invited/included us in her family events, a birthday, a holiday or just an evening around the bonfire. Oh yes, the catch up, coffee clutch, get-together marathons; Gerhard will especially miss. Many times I would come home and could hear the two of them from outside or from another floor laughing hysterically for hours! So many wonderful memories! We will miss Kim so very much. Our sincerest, heartfelt condolences Ed, Brett, Cody and the rest of Kim's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. All our love,
