Carol Elaine Tucker

It is with great sadness that the family of Carol Tucker, 77, announces her passing on Wednesday September 17, 2014 at the LaVerendrye General Hospital.

She was born on October 20, 1936 in Koochiching County, Minnesota to Julia and Chris Miller. She was united in marriage to Raymond Tucker on March 9, 1957. Carol spent many years at the island where Raymond had the commercial fishery. She helped him while raising her 4 children. She could work in the fish house, skin a beaver and cook a great meal while keeping a watchful eye on the family. She was an accomplished seamstress and in her later years a great beader and a maker of moccasins and slippers. After Ray’s death Carol suffered many health issues, she moved to Rainycrest, making some very dear friends there.
