Lucile Tucker Todd

May 16, 1924 — August 6, 2024

CLAXTON: Lucile Tucker Todd passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at the age of 100 at Camellia Health & Rehab Center under the care of Affinis Hospice. She was born May 16, 1924 to David Oscar and Lily Hendrix Tucker. She was an active member, for as long as she was able, of Union Church in Claxton, Ga. Married in 1938 to Roger Lamar Todd, she resided most of her life in Evans County. Her greatest accomplishments were being a farmer’s wife, homemaker and matriarch of her family. She was a Godly woman who lived and breathed for family get togethers. She never turned anyone away and knew what ‘Love Your Neighbor’ meant. Early in her marriage, she helped with the family farm and vegetable gardening while maintaining a loving home for her children and husband. In her later years, she loved sewing, quilting and crocheting. To keep her mind sharp, she read daily, as well as completed word and number puzzles. She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Roger Lamar Todd; son in law Derrell Weitman; granddaughter Jessi Jenkins Pennington; granddaughter in law Ashley Weitman; five sisters- Mae Boyette, Myrtice Saxon, Inez Todd, Mattie Lou Todd, Melrose Jones; five brothers- Clyde, Millard, Jack, Edward and Troy. Survivors include brother Johnny (Betty) Tucker of Bloomingdale; sister-in-law Mamie Lou Tucker of Claxton; six Children Joan (Chuck) Campbell, David (Sandra) Todd, Danny (Yolanda) Todd, Mike (Paula) Todd, all of Claxton, Patsy Weitman of Glennville, Peggy (Steve) Garner of Statesboro; 11 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, six great great grandchildren; special niece Shirley (John) Richey of Claxton, and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Our mother’s final request was ‘shed a few tears, but rejoice and celebrate my life which was well lived’. The family would like to extend our thanks to the staff of Camellia Health & Rehab for taking such great care of our mother during her extended stay there. And also, our thanks to Affinis Hospice for their special attention to her during her final days.
