Ann was born May 26, 1940 to Joseph and Mary Elizabeth Scaling in Dalhart, Texas and passed from this life January 18, 2022 in Enid, Oklahoma.
She was raised and educated in Dalhart through middle school before the family moved to Enid, where her grandparents lived and where she was Christened as a baby at the First United Methodist Church. She attended Enid High School graduating with the class of 1958. In 1959 she married a Security Forces Airman stationed at Vance AFB, Tilford Neal Tucker, from Tulare, California. Ann and Tilford had three children, Darrel Wayne, Connie Jill and Curtis Dean. The Tucker family moved with the military to several bases including Lackland AFB, Izmir, Turkey and Clinton Sherman AFB. During this time she took a break from working to raise her children.
Ann then returned to Enid where she had first started her career with the Department of Defense at Vance AFB in 1958. Ann resumed working until 2002, where she retired as a GS-11, close to 40 years of service.
Ann was active in the Enid Gaslight Theatre and Enid bowling leagues. She was an artist and created many crafts selling them in several states.
Surviving are her two children Connie (Doug) Liles of Enid and Curtis (Denise) Tucker of Enid. Five grandchildren Mickala (Zach) Coon of Little Axe, Caitlin (Christian) Rodriguez of Enid, Hunter Smith, Piper Tucker and Chaney Tucker all of Enid. Four great grandchildren, a niece and two nephews.
