JOSEPH LEVINE and SONS
TUCKER Lucy Tucker, of Philadelphia, died peacefully
at home on April 12. At her side were her
children and their spouses, Amy Tucker and
Stephen Tanzer, Jeff Tucker and Miriam
Kogan Tucker, who cannot imagine a world
without her. Her son Steven and her hus-
band of 67 years, Gil, predeceased her. Once
Lucy gave her love, it was yours to
keep—she never quit on a friend and re-
mained fiercely partisan whether you were
family, or Hillary Clinton, or the Yankees in a
lean year. Among the personal effects left on
her bedside table were tokens of an abiding
engagement with the world that did not flag
with age; these included a bag of treats for
the family dog and two small notebooks. In
one notebook she kept a running list of the
books on tape, both fiction and nonfiction,
she consumed at an astonishing clip since
losing her eyesight in recent years. In the
other notebook she kept track of the many
and varied charities to which she contributed
annually: in 2016 these numbered 28 and
ranged from The Smile Train to the
Pennsylvania SPCA to Women for Women In-
ternational. Smart, funny, sympathetic, Lucy
lived to be of service to others. She could
identify obscure character actors of the
1930s and ‘40s by their voices alone. She
knew every Sinatra arrangement by heart, for
she had heard them in person. She played a
respectable game of tennis into her 80s. She
joyfully disbursed all her earthly goods but
retained her witty, indomitable spirit to the
last, asking her nurse on the day before her
death at age 93, “What is the estimated time
of departure?”

Lillian Stein (nee Ponnock) of Wynnewood,

(Sami Ouahada) and Bruce Stein (Diane Gins-
berg); Grandmother of Amy (Travis) and
Greggory (Brooke), Debbie (Bob), David (Di-
ane); Also survived by 8 great grand-children.

She was a life member of Hadassah and held
leadership positions with the former Americ-

and was past president of the Northern
Hebrew Day Nursery. The family requests

a docent at the Barnes, he developed a pro-

medical professionals to use the Barnes
method of looking at art to help them open
their eyes and see more when looking at their
patients. Dr. David Gary Smith, Director of
Residency Training Programs at Abington

moting the program. A fund to continue this
program in his name has been created. In
