Services for Nadine Tucker Edwards, 82, of Moultrie, are at 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 7, 2009, at Cobb Funeral Chapel. Elder John Phillips will officiate and interment is in Cobb Suncrest Memorial Gardens, with the Rev. Andy Cashwell officiating. Pallbearers are Jonathan Fuller, Doug Giddens, Josh Lovett, Michael Strickland, Lynwood Yates Jr. and Mark Nikkel. Honorary pallbearers are Glenn Hancock, Bobby Hancock and Reece Meadows.
Mrs. Edwards died died Saturday, July 4, at Woodlands Living Center. Born Sept. 13, 1926, in Colquitt County, Ga., she was the seventh child of the late John Wright Tucker and Guzzie Cobb Tucker. She was a homemaker and a member of Ty Ty Primitive Baptist Church.
Mrs. Edwards lived her entire life on the Elder H. C. Tucker property and led the successful 1982 effort to place the Tucker log house and farmstead on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places. For years she hosted tours of the home she owned and loved, and kept ownership in the family. "An amateur historian, she touched the hearts of many people", her family said. She proudly told the story of her great grandfather, Elder Henry Crawford Tucker Jr. "My great-grandfather, who I called Henry Crawford, was one of the first white settlers to arrive in Colquitt County. He married three times and fathered a total of 32 children. According to family tradition, Henry Crawford built this house in 1818. It is solidly built of hand-hewn logs interlaced with half-dovetail notching. Later, Henry Crawford served as one of two delegates from Colquitt County to the secession convention in Milledgeville in January, 1861, where both voted for secession."
She was preceded in death by her husband, Decheard Edwards; three brothers and four sisters. Surviving are two daughters, Judy Yates, Angie Fuller and husband Dr. Ken Fuller; four grandchildren, Glenda Brigman, Lynwood Yates Jr., Jonathan Fuller, Christina Fuller; five great-grandchildren, Michael Strickland, Heather Giddens, Samantha Apperson, Nicole Lanier and Brittany Horne; and five great-great-grandchildren, Raylen Strickland, Hunter Apperson, Hayley Apperson, Walker Lanier and Lakyn Lanier.
The family will receive friends one hour prior to the funeral service at the funeral home chapel in Moultrie. — Cobb Funeral Chapel
