Sharon Tucker

Sharon Sue Tucker was born in South Charleston, West Virginia, January 23, 1948 and she passed away at home in North Richland Hills, Texas, August 25, 2026. She was the daughter of Roger Egger and Dolly Sue Egger. Sharon grew up in Irving, Dallas and Mesquite, and as a little girl she traveled to Japan with her family after World War II because her dad was in the Army Air Corp. She told stories about her childhood and she had a lot of them. Her stories were the highlights of conversations around the kitchen table and in her text messages, as well. Her favorite story was the one of how she met Dad, the love of her life. They met at Texas Technological College, Texas Tech now. She told about seeing him outside the biology classroom and how she called her mom that night to say she was going to marry him. Dad's roommate called her to say that dad wanted to ask her out. She made it clear that if he wanted to ask her out he was going to have to call her himself. Well he did call and Mom and Dad were married August 12,1967. They made an amazing life together for 59 years. Sharon loved to go with Steve to the lake and sit on the boat while he fished and they would have picnics on the boat together. She would say Dad and I had a great evening. They would sit in the den and watch old westerns on tv at night. She loved and adored Dad.

Mom and dad traveled the state of Texas with dad's job and made a home in Irving, San Antonio, Katy, Lubbock and finally in North Richland Hills where they raised their two boys, Steve and Scott. That home was amazing. It was not only amazing for us but for everyone. She loved holidays and her favorite is Christmas. She always has Christmas decorations up in the house year round.

Mom was the chauffer to soccer practice, cub scouts and countless other activities. She was also active in PTA while her sons were growing up and even jumped back in to it with her grandchildren. Her grandchildren! Her grandchildren were her joy and happiness. Honey as they called her, loved them dearly. Honey showed up for all the events, games and performances. Honey would send texts, of course the I love you and how was your day, but then she would send essays. Remember how she loved to tell stories, well she would text a story. A story with all the details. She would always end her texts with a blue heart.

Mom always wanted to be a teacher and she found joy for over 20 years in substitute teaching. She loved the teachers and the students and felt like she was truly giving her classes the knowledge they needed to be successful. Mom was an English major, so I hope all the grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct in this because mom edited all our high school and college papers. Honey's legacy will live on with her husband Steve, her son Stephen and daughter-in-love Chanda, her son Scott and daughter-in-love Brooke and her grandchildren, who she loved dearly, Laith, Trey, Abigaile, and Kailei. 

A memorial service will be held in the future to celebrate Sharon and her life. If you wish to honor Sharon you can make a donation to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society.
