Jane Tucker Vickers, 72, of
Huntsville, passed away on
June 30, 2017 after a nearly
two-year battle with cancer.
She was born in Cannon County,

Tucker on September 28, 1944.
She is survived by her husband,
Jack Vickers; sister, Barbara Bailey;
son, Chris Vickers (Melody);
daughter, Jennifer Carden
(Scott); five grandchildren,
Jackson Vickers, Lydia Vickers,
Carter Vickers, Tucker Carden
and Wade Carden. Jane was a
loved and cherished member
of her neighborhood where
she lived for over 40 years. Jane received great joy from being a
loving and caring mother and grandmother to her children and
grandchildren, love and care of her flower and fern beds and love
and fellowship with her wonderful friends she has made over the
years. She truly loved and cherished her children and grandchildren
and got much entertainment watching their sporting and
dancing activities as well as following their academic progress.
She took great pride in her flower and fern beds and was often
referred to as the lady with the "green thumb". She often discounted the reference but it was really true. Her beds were superior.
Over the 40 years in South Huntsville, she made many friends
with which she often socialized, generally over food. One group
over a monthly lunch, another at breakfast and still others for activities such as walking. She was truly loved in her neighborhood
and will be sorely missed. Visitation will be Thursday, July 6, 2017
from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church
followed by the funeral service at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Eric Kohler
officiating. Burial will follow at Maple Hill Cemetery. In lieu of
flowers, the family requests donations be made to Ivy Bluff United
Methodist Church in Cannon County, TN, C\O Scott Carden, P.O
