HILL – Gene P. Tucker, 99, died Thursday, October 11, 2018 at home after a brief illness. She was born in Elnora, Indiana, one of five children of McGuyer and Elizabeth (Dillman) Porter.

She grew up in Indiana and earned her diploma of nursing there. In 1947, Gene met, Everett C. Tucker at a USO dance at Ft. Harrison. They married and moved back to his home in Alexandria, N.H., with the promise if after a year she didn't like New Hampshire they would move back to Indiana, they moved and there was no looking back.

In the 1960's they moved to Hill and made their home there on New Chester Road. Gene worked as a nurse at Franklin Hospital until her retirement.

Family was everything to Gene and she spent so much time with her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a member of the Alexandria United Methodist Church and the Woman's Auxiliary there. Gene was an avid reader and was active with the Hill Book Club. She loved the Red Sox but was known to turn the game off if they were losing as she feared it was she who was causing the bad luck. Those who knew her best will remember her as a diehard Democrat.

She is survived by her daughter. She was predeceased by a great granddaughter Elliana Hope Voelbel.

Interment at Homeland Cemetery in Bristol.
