Ellen Elizabeth Tucker, 67, of Indianapolis, IN passed away at home surrounded by family on October 28, 2021.

Elizabeth worked at FedEx as a courier for nearly 30 years, retiring in 2018.

Elizabeth enjoyed arts and crafts with her grandkids, sisters and many friends, and traveling to the Gulf of Mexico and Dale Hollow Lake to soak up the rays from the sun. Making memories with her family was a priority. She was an avid reader. Peaceful walks on trails and other pathways was always a relaxing time to Elizabeth. Another one of her passions was to sit on her back patio watching birds and enjoying her bountiful flowers. She loved her gardens and worked diligently to perfect them over the years. Elizabeth participated in a number of community activities and was especially fond of the Wreaths Across America program, decorating the graves of soldiers buried in Indianapolis. She also delivered holiday meals to those in need for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Friends and family members always knew that if they needed advice or instructions to complete a task that they could reach out to Elizabeth.. They were aware of the honest truth of advice that she would give. In this way, she touched many lives.
