Kerestina Gae Tucker was born on Monday, October 23, 1967, in Seminole, OK, to Donald and Teresa Tucker. She departed this life on Monday, March 11, 2024, Enid, OK. At a young age, she accepted Jesus, as her Savor, and has been practicing her faith throughout her life.
Kerestina attended public schools in Stillwater and Enid, Oklahoma, graduating from Chisholm High School in 1985. After graduation, she attended Northern Oklahoma College and Seminole Jr. College. Her employment history was compromised by injuries and health issues but included Grandy’s, Subway, Advance Foods and Vance Air Force sBase.
Kerestina/Stina/Gae Gae/Beanie/Kris (her many nicknames) was an avoid sport enthusiast. There was not a sport she did not like. She had a loyalty to Oklahoma State University, the Dallas Cowboys and Enid Outlaws. She also enjoyed her daytime soap operas on television, most things came to stop when they were on. Her taste in music was varied, but she was equally entertained by all genres.
Kerestina would go out of her way to help the ones she loved, even if it meant sacrificing something for herself. She was led by her heart. She was a friend to all, and was deeply cared for by many. She loved to cook and experimented with different recipes creating her own style.
Kerestina will be greatly missed, but there is comfort in knowing that she is with God and other family members that have gone before her.
She is preceded in death by her grandparents, but leaves behind her parents, two brothers, Cameron (his wife and children), Michael (his daughter), four aunts, two uncles, nieces, nephews, scores of cousins, her best friend Shelia, and life sister Theresa.
