Mrs. Elece Joree Tucker, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother passed away on November 23, 2022. Mrs. Tucker was born June 14, 1923, in Groesbeck, Texas to Mr. and Mrs. Wille Mae Cook. Elece was preceded in death by her parents, sister, brother, and spouse, Mr. K.S. Tucker.

Mr. and Mrs. Tucker built a home filled with love and laughter. At the same time, they encourage each other in their academic and professional pursuits. Elece began her career in cosmetology, and after completing her training in Fort Worth, Texas, she owned and operated a hair salon in Groesbeck, Texas. This helped fund her further education. After graduating from Paul Quinn College with a B.S. Degree in Mathematics and Prairie View College with a Master's Degree in Mathematics, she worked endearingly for many years as an educator for Groesbeck ISD. Her contributions in service to her community are too numerous to summarize in short.
