Vera Smith Tucker, 84, of Cave City died Tuesday at White River Medical Center in Batesville.
She was born in Williford, Arkansas on January 31, 1929 to Morgan and Lennie (Zeiger) Smith.

She enjoyed watching television and some of her favorite shows included ''Dancing with the Stars,'' ''The Bachelor,'' and ''The Bachelorette.'' She was a very simple person yet strong-willed and liked politics. Her family was the most important thing in her life. She was a homemaker and of the Baptist faith.
She is survived by two sons: Kelly Tucker of Houston, TX and Michael Tucker and his wife, Remonia of Sandtown, AR; a daughter: Sandra Black of St. Charles, MO; two grandchildren: Bobby and Jared Finster; two great-grandchildren: Briley & Jonah Finster; one sister: Lucille Willmore of West Frankfort, IL; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Mickey Tucker; a son, James Mumma; a brother, Gene Smith; and two sisters: Mae Gazaway and Donna Thomas.
A graveside service was held at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday at the Cave City Cemetery with Ron Canard officiating and under the direction of Roller-Crouch-McGee Funeral Home of Cave City.

Aunt Vera brings so many fond memories to my heart. I really remember her awesome fried chicken. I think she may be the sweetest person I have ever known. She loved her family so much. Aunt Vera lived a life of goodness and an unbelievable kindness...She was God-Like. Although it has been too many years since we have been together, her memory from my childhood lived in memory throughout my life.
Sandy, Kelly and Mike...your dad was my uncle and all I know is they are together right now and all is beautiful.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I know that this is a hard time for you all because death is never easy. Death truly is mankind enemy. but the Bible hold out comfort and hope for mankind at Rev. 21:3,4 Jehovah God said that He would be with us and He will wipe every tear from our eyes and death would be no more. So take courage because Jehovah God can not tell a lie what He purpose will come true.Ish. 55:11. As for the dead they will live again Jesus made this clear at John 5:28,29 they will hear his voice and come out.
