George Leon Tucker, 77, of Pocola, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025. He was born on April 7, 1948, in Porterville, California, to Sarah (Packard) Tucker and Glen Tucker.
George was a man of many talents and deep passions. A skilled mechanic, he found joy in working with his hands, especially on cars. He had a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures in life-gardening, traveling, sightseeing, and getting lost in a good book. Above all, George cherished time with his family, particularly his grandchildren, whom he cared for often and loved dearly.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Tilford, Richard, Charles, Glen, and Gene Tucker; and sisters Patricia Ridgeway, Alma Graham, Edith Osborne, and Debra Brown.
George leaves behind a loving legacy through his wife, Lela Tucker; his children, Jennifer Tucker Saulter and husband Tommy, Sarah Tucker Saulter and husband Billy, Jason Tucker and wife Lisa, and Jennifer Regalman; his grandchildren Jacob, Lucas, Nikolas, Seth, Haliegh, Heather, and Kaleb Saulter; along with numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends who will miss him deeply.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Evans Chapel of Memories in Pocola, Oklahoma, with John Thomas officiating. Services are under the direction of Evans & Miller Funeral Home of Poteau, Oklahoma.
