It is with great sadness that John D. Hickman and Joseph Y.

One of two daughters of the late Clayton and Dorothy (McGuigan) Clark, Tucky grew up in West Saint John. Her mother ensured that she obtained a University education at Mount Allison University, which included a MSc in bio-chemistry, and led to employment in Saint John at the provincial medical laboratory with Dr. R.A.H. McKeen. Tucky possessed a vibrant personality, and outstanding athletic prowess. She married her late husband, Joseph D. (Joe) Hickman, and they shared 20 years of mutual activities and friends while pursuing golf, curling, bridge and travel. In later years, she was fortunate to meet Jim Harris, an American friend, who also shared her enjoyment of golf and travel. Tucky was also pre-deceased by her parents, her sister (June), and her step-son William B. Hickman and his wife (Diana) of Calgary, and her cousin Charlie.
