She was born on August 23, 1937 to the late Howard G. Hunt and Charlie Mae Gupton Hunt. She married William H. Tucker, Jr. in 1957 at Woodbine United Methodist Church. He precedes her in death along with
her parents.
She is survived by her daughter; Lisa (Herb) Moore of Jacksonville, FL; son, William H. (Nina) Tucker, III of Brentwood, TN; and grandchildren, Meghan Elizabeth Moore and Hunter Moore of Gainesville, FL and

Barbara had a sweet spirit about her and was very family oriented. She enjoyed following Overton baseball, genealogy, ballroom dancing, travel and taking nature walks. She particularly enjoyed walking at Radnor Lake and feeding the many deer and coyotes who visited her backyard.
A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held from ten o’clock until twelve o’clock on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at Woodlawn Roesch-Patton Funeral Home. Following the visitation will be a graveside service at twelve o’clock at Woodlawn Memorial Park with Pastor Peter Van Eys of Crievewood United Methodist Church officiating. Pallbearers will include her grandsons, Hunter and William, and Overton Baseball alumni.
Many thanks to the care and support provided by the staff of MorningPointe. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Barbara’s honor to the Overton Baseball Boosters, 4820 Franklin Road, Nashville, TN 37220.
