Amy M. Tucker
February 7, 1971 ~ January 13, 2018
Amy Marie (Harless) Tucker
February 7, 1971 – January 13, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce that Amy passed away on Saturday, January 13, 2018 after a 3.5-year struggle with Leukemia. Amy, 46, died peacefully with her family, friends, and loving husband of 16 years by her side. Amy was born in Indianapolis on February 7, 1971 to Robert (Bob) and Mary (O’Connor) Harless. She was preceded in death by her father, Bob, in 1990.
She was a graduate of Roncalli High School with the class of 1989. Amy had various careers in retail, banking, and working in the offices of Eagle Creek OB-GYN. Amy had a special gift for explaining difficult medical issues in layman’s terms, with a caring heart. Her favorite career, by far, was being a stay at home mother. Amy loved music, reading, crocheting, spending time and traveling with her family and friends. Her favorite place to travel was to any beach where she could be warm and put her toes in the sand.
Amy’s motto was, “Try to be the best part of someone’s day.” She never met a stranger, and her heart was always open to those she encountered. She knew that you never can tell what someone is dealing with on the inside, so you must be nice to everyone. Her motto will forever remind us of the love she brought to our lives and the countless lives she touched in her short 46 years.
Survivors include her loving husband, H. Charles “Chuck” Tucker; adoring daughters, Paige M. and Riley E. Tucker both of Indianapolis; her mother, Mary Moody of Indianapolis; her brother, Bob (Anne) Harless of Indianapolis; two sisters, Beth (Chris) Bobko of Indianapolis and Becky (Jim) Coovert of New Palestine; many nieces and nephews; and her best friends: Christy Vavra, Kate Andrews, Elaine Jennings, Anita Graves and Brian Morris.
Family and friends will gather to celebrate the life of Amy Tucker from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at the Daniel F. O’Riley Funeral Home, 6107 S. East Street, Indianapolis. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery in Indianapolis. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Indiana Chapter, 9075 N.

I am hard pressed to think of a family more loving, caring, and supportive than the Harlesses. Amy was awesome because she had a mother and father second-to-none. You are the fabric of my life and I love each of you. May she rest in eternal peace.

Dear Mary and family, We are so sorry for your loss. We pray the Lord’s comfort and strength upon you all. Love and prayers, Pat and Joanie Moody
Today, I learned that your family is mourning the loss of your beloved Amy. Please accept my condolences and be assured that almighty God is certainly aware of your painful feelings. May God comfort and sustain you to get through this day and others to come (Isa 41:13). Wishing your family all the best at this most difficult period.
I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the Tucker family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection (John 5:28, 29) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death is an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26) that will very soon be eliminated forever, and no family will mourn the death of a loved one (Revelation 21:4). This promise has been given by Almighty God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18). Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It’s a reality though for God cannot lie (Titus 1:2).
