Nancy Tucker, 36, passed away before her time on Jan. 9, 2022 due to COVID-19 pneumonia. She was born on July 22, 1985, in Olympia, Washington to Randy Kuch and Nann Mak of Elma, Washington. She graduated from Elma High School in 2003 and continued her education through Bates Technical College in Tacoma, Washington as a Pharmacy Technician. Nancy worked at St. Peters Hospital in Olympia, Washington for a few years before transferring to Summit Pacific Medical Center in Elma, where she worked until her passing.

Nancy was full of life. She had a heart of gold, an infectious laughter that carried through the room whenever she entered, caring, outgoing, loving, family-oriented, loyal, and a compassionate spirit with a great sense of humor. She moved back to Elma to assist her mother in caring for her father. She loved them very much and always made sure they were both taken care of. She loved life as proven by the many relationships and bonds that she created throughout her lifetime. She was a daughter, a sister, aunt, a friend and her greatest joy was being a mother.

Nancy lived life to the fullest and enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially time with her son Quentin, nieces and nephews that she truly enjoyed spoiling. She loved to cook, singing out loud, dancing, having fun and making others laugh and having a good time. Nancy always made sure that she took care of everyone around her that she loved and was close to. She loved with all of heart, without hesitation or reservation. To know her was an honor and a true blessing. She captured the hearts of many and she is greatly missed.

Nancy is survived by her parents, her brothers Veansa Kuch (Breanne) and Somaly Kuch (Rosie); sister Nettie Cherry (Jarel); son Quentin Kuch Kelly and newborn daughter Attiyana Tucker; nieces TaiLynn, Kailyah and JaeLynn; nephews Maddox, Lincoln, Leo, Romeo and Jarel Jr.; bonus children Dearious and King; bonus siblings and numerous nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 31, at Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen.
