Gladys was proudly anticipating the upcoming celebration of the 50^th anniversary of Tucker’s Seafood to be held at its current location in Zachary, LA later this year. Gladys and George also raised various livestock including cattle, FFA and 4-H show pigs, alligators, and deer, among others. She loved to garden, fish, hunt, and spend time outside and with her family and friends. She loved her best friends Gary and Michelle Ayo dearly, with whom she shared many laughs and good times with. Gladys had a strong personality, and would give you a lecture on the world going to hell in a handbasket one second and whip you up the best batch of fried seafood you’d ever eaten in the next.
