Charlotte - The world lost one of its greatest smiles today. Nancy Ducker Tuchscherer passed on January 20, 2019. She was born on March 9, 1950 to Elizabeth Hamilton Ducker and William Greer Ducker. She was a life long Charlotte resident, graduating from Myers Park High School in 1968 and attended St. Andrews University. She was a member of Myers Park Presbyterian Church, Foxcroft East Tennis & Swim Club and Olde Providence Racquet Club.
She was the best, most selfless person I ever met. She was a nurturing homemaker and loving mother, daughter, wife and friend. There was nothing she loved more than spending time at Oak Island among the many friends she made at the beach and on the tennis courts. Although she was an avid gardener and formidable tennis player, her greatest gift was her love for her family and her empathy for the very young and very old. Her biggest goal in life was to help others and she did that to the very end by donating her body to science.
She was predeceased by her parents, William Greer Ducker and Elizabeth Hamilton Ducker; her brothers, Rev. George L. and Billy Ducker.
She is survived by her loving and eternally grateful husband, Mitch Tuchscherer; her daughter, Leslie Wagoner and husband Jason; her daughter, Megan Crocker and husband Andy; her grandsons, Austin and Jackson Wagoner; her granddaughter, June Crocker; her sister-in-law Lane C. Ducker; and her nephews, Greer and Brian Ducker.
Those that knew her well will understand this quote, “Though she be but little she is fierce”. Rest in Peace my Sweet Darlin’.
A memorial service to honor her life will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, January 25, 2019 at Myers Park Presbyterian Church. The family will receive friends following the service in Oxford Hall.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Levine Cancer Institute: Project PINK at www.atriumhealthfoundation.org/projectpink. The Levine Cancer Center was there for her in every way for her 12 year battle.
