Natalie Ruth (Zanni) Tuck

Natalie Ruth (Zanni) Tuck of Westford passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2016 at Life Care Center of Nashoba Valley in Littleton, MA, surrounded by her family. She was 80 years of age.

Born on February 6, 1936 in Winchester, Natalie was the loving daughter of the late George S. Zanni and the late Eleanor L. (McLeod) Zanni. Natalie was a warm and caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In Natalie's early years she proudly worked in data entry for General Electric as well as Raytheon, she then moved on in her career to do clerical work for the Wakefield Vocational High School from 1985-1993. Natalie always cherished friendship and made a point to keep close with a special group of girls from school spanning over 60 years. She was also an active member of the Reading Class of '54. Natalie loved to travel but her greatest passion was driving the back roads of New England. She was well known for her "8 hour short cuts" to a 2 hour destination. Natalie loved spending time with her grandchildren. She would always be up to go on a day trip or bring them to the family camp in Maine. Her sense of humor and infectious smile will be sorely missed. When Natalie had moved into Life Care of Nashoba her humor worked its charm once again and she had quite a positive impact on the staff.

Natalie was the beloved wife of the late Lawrence M. Tuck. She was the devoted mother of Pamela J Andruskiewicz and her husband Bruce and Kathleen Gray and her husband Robert Jr. The cherished grandmother of Robert Glenn Gray III, Kristi-Lynn Hagar and her husband Carl, James E Kelly Jr and wife Amanda, and great-grandson Mayhew R Hagar.
