Ileane Annette Harrison Tucker, age 87, went peacefully in her home on 7/18/26.
She was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, to Thelma Harrison and Reno Ghidotti on 9/30/1938. She also lovingly knew Dale Allen as her dad for most of her life.
Ileane was preceded in death by her grandparents, Glen and Lillian Harrison, who raised her for many years and played an important role in her life.
She was a devoted wife to Tommy Tucker for many years and a beloved mother to Tom Tucker and Tim Tucker. She was the most wonderful Nana to Timothy Tucker and Brady Tucker and was dearly loved by her daughter-in-law, Stacy. She was great grandmother to Khloe Tucker, whom she was blessed to spend time with over the last few months.
Ileane earned her master's degree in education. She was a beloved teacher at Joe T. Robinson. She had a deep love of learning and continually encouraged others to further their education. One of her favorite things to do was watch the game show, Jeopardy.
She was active in Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon, where she gave freely of her time, wisdom, and compassion to help others.
She was a member of Nalls Baptist Church in WLR for many years.
She also loved to travel and was blessed to visit Italy and Alaska.
Ileane will be remembered for the unconditional love she gave to her family and friends.
We want to thank her friend, Lorraine Clearman, who was continually by her side helping to coordinate care to the very end, along with caregivers Lisa and Rita with Hospice.
Pallbearers will be Tom Tucker, Tim Tucker, Timothy Tucker, Brady Tucker, Mick Fitzgerald, and Gary Paul Tucker.
