Winston Edward Tucker

of Clinton, AR

October 30, 1935 - January 12, 2019

Winston Edward Tucker, 83, of Clinton, Arkansas, passed away at home on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019. He was born Oct. 30, 1935, to George and Unah Smith Tucker of Choctaw. He was known by many in his beloved hometown of Shirley as ''Sweet.'' To his grandchildren, he was ''PaPa.''

Winston was of the Christian faith. He was a truck driver and a business owner. He enjoyed shooting pool, playing dominoes and listening to his beagles running rabbits and deer. Winston once said the happiest people he knew had never left Van Buren County. As a young man, he did have to leave to make a living. But as soon as he could, he returned with his young family in tow.

Winston leaves behind two daughters, Deidre Tucker and Anita Tucker, both of Clinton; three grandchildren, Sam Tucker and Taylor Tucker, both of Clinton, and Drew Tucker and wife Jessica of Beebe; one great-granddaughter, Ella Tucker of Beebe; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Ray (Hughes) Tucker; his parents; sister Vita Carroll; and brother Johnnie Tucker.

Visitation will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2019, at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home Chapel. Service will follow at 2 p.m. with Bro. Richard McCormac officiating. Burial will be at Huie Cemetery.
