JENNIE E. TUCKER, daughter of Issice and Florence Edmunds, was born November 25, 1923 in Danville, Virginia. She departed this life on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, 2025. She was one of two children. Her brother was Roy Edmunds. Jennie attended public school in Danville, Virginia. After leaving school, she worked doing domestic work. During that time, she met and later married Caggie M. Tucker on September 2, 1944. They relocated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1951. Jennie and Caggie had three children whom she loved greatly and devoted her life to raising them properly. She made certain they received a formal education along with wisdom and sound Christian principals. She joined Gospel Tabernacle Baptist Church over sixty years ago and remained faithful to God ever since; one of her gifts, the Fruits of the Spirit. Some years ago, she worked on the Kitchen Committee preparing food and menus for church activities. She was also a member of the Diamond Committee. Jennie worked as a Housekeeper for seven years and was later offered a job at Hutzler’s Department Store in Towson as a Cafeteria worker and food prep person. She was employed with Hutzler’s for eighteen years before retiring. She loved to travel and always had a bus trip planned to see other states in the country. She also took a trip to the Middle East, visiting the Holy Land, Greece, Jordan and other places. Jennie was also a lover of flowers. She had a green thumb and could make a weed blossom. Planting flowers every spring and summer gave her much joy. Our mother believed that work builds a person, keeps a strong body and mind. She always said “learn as much as you can, get knowledge with wisdom; no one can take from what you know. Preceding her in death was her husband of forty-five years Caggie Tucker, her brother Roy Edmunds who passed away seven years ago. She is survived by her two daughters, Sylvia J. Tucker and Caggie V. Feaster; son, Morris Tucker; grandson, Coley Arrington; two nieces, Thelma Pinkard and Mattie Edmunds who still reside in Danville, Virginia; and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
