Terry Lynette Tucker’s life began on December 27, 1966, in Terrell Texas. The proud
parents of this adorable baby girl were Tommy L. Tucker and the late Linda B. Tucker.
On Friday May 9, 2025, Terry received her release from this earthly life to her Heavenly
reward. Our mother was preceded in transition by her mother and brothers Kieth Tucker,
Bradley Tucker and Gary Tucker.
The only girl in a family of boys, Terry attended schools in Terrell ISD and was a proud
graduate of Terrell High School in 1985. She attended Trinity Valley Community College
where she completed a state-approved practical nursing program. After receiving her

Valley Baptist Church in Terrell. After moving from Terrell to Dallas, she attended and
joined Christian Stronghold Church where she served faithfully for 22 years. Terry
served as the leader of the Culinary/Hospitality Ministry at Christian Stronghold for 15
years and led with love, warm hospitality, and special attention to detail and order. She
also served on the Pastoral Care Ministry, where she led the Bereavement Team with

Terry made it a point to coordinate the church’s bereavement needs with dignity,
consistency, and excellence.
