Brittney TUCKER Obituary

Brittney Marie Tucker, 25, of Roanoke, went to be with Jesus on Friday, February 1, 2013. She was born on August 29, 1987, in Roanoke, Va., the daughter of Eddie R. and Nancy R. Tucker. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Hildred "Tillie" Rhodes. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her sister, Courtney Conner Adkins and husband, Josh; a very special niece, Abigale Adkins; grandparents, Raymond "Rocky" Rhodes, and Edward R. and Elizabeth Tucker; many aunts, uncles and cousins; many special friends; and her dogs, Gavin, Moby, Seamus, and PaddyCakes.
She graduated from Cave Spring High School in 2005 and received her Associate's Degree from Virginia Western in 2009.
In her 25 years on this earth, she influenced everyone she came into contact with by being the most loving, caring and sweetest person that you could ever meet. Brittney was known for her love of "Hello Kitty" and her love for animals, especially her dogs, which was outweighed only by the love she had for her family. The bond she shared with her mother collecting Pez candy dispensers will be irreplaceable. She was a friend to anyone who ever came in contact with her.
Flowers will be accepted or donations in her memory can be made to Angels of Assisi.
Funeral Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, February 7, 2013, at Oakey's South Chapel with the Rev. Roger Graves officiating. Interment will follow in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, February 6, 2013, at Oakey's South Chapel. www.Oakeys.com

February 6, 2013

My absolute sincerest condolences go out to all of Brittney's family. Her smile and personality was full of light, and every time we would speak, it was a breath of fresh air to me. Each time.

I lost my sister on December 26th. When I heard about Brittney passing, the first thing I could think was that more and more, I believe in the phrase, "Only the good die young." Like Brittney, my sister was nothing but giving and loving, and always did her best to make people feel nothing but wonderful.

I'm so incredibly sorry. You're all in my thoughts and I'm sending you the strongest bit of love that I can muster up.

I know that there are no words to make any of this better, but I hope that you know that you aren't alone. Please take care.

February 6, 2013

God bless you and your family. You are in my heart and prayers.

New American Standard Bible (NASB)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all [a]comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is [b]lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, [c]dwell on these things.
