    Margie and I collaborated for many years on Warren County, Tennessee families, particularly the BYARS family, as we shared that line. I miss her and her great laugh. It's hard to believe that she's already been gone 13 years...DAH

      Dear Mr. Hennessee, my name is Debbie Wright. I am Margie's daughter. I need to tell you that on 8-25 Margie was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia & later died on 9-3. Daddy said ya'll were great friends. If you need to speak with me, my number is 205-678-8280. This system will be shut done shortly. Dad is not a computer person. He said it will be another month.

      Thanks for being so dear to Margie. Debbie

      Received 18 Apr 2010 from her daughter, Diane:

      Marjorie S. Tucker, 67, died Sunday, September 3, 2000 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama of respiratory failure after a brief, unexpected illness. She was born Sept. 15, 1932 to John and Drusie Stewart, the youngest of two children. After graduating from Ensley High School, she married Jim Watson in 1950. They had two children, Dianne and Larry. Jim and Margie ran a TV and appliance store in Fairview until they divorced in 1961. Marjorie then returned to school and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a B.A. in Mathematics and Education. She subsequently completed two years of graduate study in mathematics at Samford University in Birmingham. She taught high school for a year but quickly decided teaching wasn't for her, so she accepted a job as a computer programmer in the heart research program at the VA Hospital in Birmingham. After the grant expired, she continued to work at the Veteran's Administration Medical Center and the UAB Medical Center until her retirement. Marjorie married James H. Tucker in 1967. Their best times were spent working in their beautiful gardens. She was an excellent seamstress who enjoyed antiques and traveling, but her greatest love was genealogy. She had long been interested in chronicling her family history, and in 1983 she fulfilled her dream by publishing a book documenting her ancestors' presence in the south as early as 1700. She made many trips throughout the deep south gathering pictures of remaining family plantation homes, cemeteries, and tombstones for her book. Marjorie, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution was very proud of her southern heritage.

      Marjorie's world turned to sorrow in 1992 when her son, Larry was diagnosed with AIDS. She made a number of trips to Montana during Larry's illness and in the process developed a friendship with Larry's stepmother, Marta Watson and former husband, Jim Watson that amazed everyone. Marjorie, Marta, and Jim worked side-by-side sewing panels for the AIDS quilt to commemorate the son they all loved. After Larry died, Marjorie and Marta accompanied Dianne and Ron on an Altrusa tour of Georgia as roommates, which raised more than a few eyebrows much to Margie's delight. Marjorie was a brilliant woman who lived her life exactly as she wanted without regret. It would have pleased her to know that her death brought the possibility of sight for two people through organ donation.

      In addition to her parents, Marjorie was preceded in death by her son, Larry and his twin Allen Ray who died at birth. She is survived by her husband, James H. Tucker of Birmingham; daughter and son-in-law, Dianne and Ron Armstrong of Helena; brother Johnny Stewart of Birmingham; stepdaughter and husband, Debbie and Bill Wright, and son Brian of Birmingham; stepdaughter Ann Baswell and daughter Sherry and her children of Birmingham; former husband Jim Watson and his wife Marta of Helena; Jim's sister and brother-in-law Dorothy and the Rev. George Harper and family of Helena; and close friend Sr. Elizabeth Henry of Helena.

      A Memorial Service will take place at 10 a.m., Saturday, September 9, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Helena with the Rev. Ed Hislop officiating. Interment has taken place in Birmingham. Memorials are suggested to the Lewis & Clark AIDS Project, Box 832, Helena, Mt. 59604.

      Editor's Note: Margie and I collaborated for many years regarding Warren County, Tennessee families, particularly the BYARS family, as we shared that line. I will miss her and her great laugh...DAH
