(1934 - June 7, 2006)

Fern Tucker married Bob Tucker on Nov. 3, 1953, at the Second Presbyterian Church in Bloomington, Illinois. She was his second wife. Fern attended a few Midwestcons and other conventions with Bob in the 1950s, but soon lost interest and let him do his frequent con-going stag. That, no doubt, is how they stayed married so long.

She was, however, unfailingly gracious to those fans who visited them in Bloomington, though Tucker did not encourage drop-ins.

The Tuckers had three sons: David, Brian and Bruce; Fern was stepmother to two earlier children, Judy and Robert (whom Tucker called “the real Bob Tucker”).
