BETTY TUCKER Obituary

Betty Iris Herzog Tucker 1940 ~ 2010 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. Mom passed away in her home April 18, 2010 in West Valley City, UT. She was born March 4, 1940 in Kemmerer, Wyoming to Milford and Amanda Herzog. A graduate from Kemmerer Wyoming High School, she married Fayette C. Tucker on July 20, 1959 in the Logan Temple. They recently celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Mom's greatest joys in life were spending time with her family, playing card games, dancing, and camping. She had a beautiful voice and she loved to sing. Mom was well known for her pies. She was a homemaker and enjoyed selling Avon for many years. Mom was devoted to her church and served in many callings throughout her life. Everyone loved her. She was very compassionate, and thoughtful of others. She had a great sense of humor and was considered by many as "their other mother". Mom, we will miss seeing your beautiful smile and hearing you and Grandpa sing us your special birthday song on each of our birthdays. She will be truly missed by all those who knew her. Betty is survived by her husband Fayette; Brent (Jane), Don, Sharla (Dale) Wallis, Mechelle Ujhely, Craig (deceased), 14 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren, her siblings Harold (Nedra), Hank (Nona), David, and Bill Herzog and many other family members. She was preceded in death by her son Craig and her parents Milford and Amanda Herzog. The family would like to thank LifePath Homecare for their compassion and to St. Marks Hospital and their affiliates for their many years of health care.

Dear Fayette, Brent, Don, Sharla, and Michelle...

My heart goes out to you at this very tender time in you life. Please know that I am praying for you and hope that the Lord will bring you comfort. Fayette, I'll always cherish the times that I had babysitting the kids and seeing how happy you and Betty were returning home after an evening of square dancing. Betty made the best candy apples and pies. And she will always and forever be my favorite Young Women's teacher. And Ill never forget her beautiful voice. What a pure gift and blessing it was to know and love her. May the Lord bless you all.

Love Debbie (Stanley) Jensen

Mechelle and family; we were so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Betty was a very special woman. We all loved her. What an amazing reunion it must have been when she got to hold Craig in her arms again. We send our love and prayers to you and your whole family.

Betty was such a great Relief Society teacher and influenced my life greatly. Years ago she taught a lesson and challenged us to read the scriptures each day. I began doing this and will always be eternally grateful for her teaching. Marisa said that Betty was such a fighter when she got sick. We are sad to lose Betty and will miss her, but rejoice to know that she is with her beloved son, Craig. We send our love and condolences to the Tucker Family.

I never met Betty in person. I only talked to her on the phone. I was one of her Avon customers (through Sharon C). She was always so kind and cheerful. I always felt better after talking to her. She always had something good to say. She never complained even when I knew she wasn't feeling well. She is such a wonderful person. I will miss her. Rhonda R.

We are so glad that we had the opportunity in the past few years, to correspond with Betty. I remember playing for her at a missionary farewell (or homecoming) and just was amazed with her beautiful voice. She was a fantastic lady and I can say that I'm glad we're related. You all take care. I know she is missed.

Fayette and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking back over the years I have so many wonderful memories of Betty.She was one of the first for me to know when we moved over on 3200 South. Teaching primary and her selling Avon. Betty always made me feel so special she had a smile on her face whenever we ran into her in the store,walking and later visiting with her at her home.
She always had so much love for her wonderful Husband and children. Then when the grand kids came along she was so very proud of each and everyone. Betty you will be remembered by us forever. May you rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of the family.

Fayette, Brent, Don, Sharla & Michelle: I want to offer my condolences on the passing of Betty. You have always been a very tight knit family, through all of lives challenges and I know that you will pull together and help one another during this difficult time. I know that she is smiling from above, hand in hand with Craig and the two of them will watch over all of you and your extended families. May the fond memories you have of her, help you through the difficult times in the future, and continue on without the pain to make you smile when you remember her.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of your sweet mother. She was like a second mom to me as well, and I have so many wonderful memories of times spent hanging with her during my college years. She was the kind of special lady who is loved by everyone she comes in contact with. I will always cherish the long talks we've had and the times she made me laugh. I will always think of the way she called me "Cindy Mindy." Thank you, Sharla, for sharing your mom with me. I love her and I'm so grateful for all the times I've spent with her. Know that I will miss her too.
