Richmond Native Heads Newly
Formed Lioness Organization j
Zebulon Loiness Club is an aux
iliary of the Lions Club.
This recently organized club—
it was chartered on August 14,
1957 — is to promote a closer tie
between the two clubs.
The Lioness Club’s motto is to
do organized civic and charity
work and to assist the Lions Club
in their projects whenever possi
ble.
Mrs. George Tucker, wife of one
of Zebulon’s prominent physicians,
is serving the club as its first pres
ident. She is actively interested
in the club and is, according to
some of the members, “making a
wonderful president.”
Mrs. Tucker is a native of Rich
mond, Va. She is the former Fran
ces Anderson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. J. Anderson. She is
the baby of 10 children of Mr.
and Mrs. Anderson.
After she graduated from Thom
as Jefferson High School in Rich
mond, she entered the University
of Richmond Extensiofi Division in
the commercial school.
When she completed her work in
the school, she took a position as
secretary and treasurer of Lone
Star Cement Corporation in her
home town.
Not long after she took a job,
the young Richmond debutante met
Dr. George Tucker, a young En
field, North Carolina native, who
was interning at Rex Hospital.
According to Mrs. Tucker the
meeting took place at a friend’s
house during a Christmas party.
No, it was not love at first sight.
In fact, according to Mrs. Tucker,
both she and the young doctor
were going with other persons.
But eventually they became very
good friends, the friendship ripen
ed into love, and they were mar
ried on January 3, 1953, in the
bride’s church, Ginter Park Bap
tist Church, Richmond.
In December of 1953, Dr. and
Mrs. Tucker became residents of
Zebulon and Mrs. Tucker became
active in the town’s civic organiza
tions. She belongs to the Carmen
Flowers Garden Club, of which
she has been president; the Lion
ess Club, of which she is present
ly president; a former member of
the board of directors of Zebulon
United Fund, and a former'member
of the Junior Woman’s Club.
Mrs. Tucker is a member of Zeb
lon Baptist Church, where she
has served on the Junior Board of
Deacons and has taught in the
Sunday School. Her husband is a
Methodist, but is under the watch
care of the Zebulon Baptist
Church.
Gardening is the chief hobby of
the president of the Lioness Club.
She loves to fiddle with all kinds
of growing plants, especially unu
sual varieties, feeling they give
her a challenge to grow. Right now,
Mrs. George Tucker
she is planting miniature orchids
and is anxiously looking forward
to the results. She, too, loves Af
rican violets and has a great num
ber — some most exquisite — scat
tered over her lovely home on East
Franklin Street.
Mrs. Tucker and her husband
are the parents of a six-months
old daughter, Kimberly Jean, who
is one of the most beautiful babies
of the town and promises to be
come one of town’s loveliest resi
dents.
The striking blonde of 5-5 and
xk inches with expressive wide
ly set green eyes, loves keeping
house. She has a maid to come in
only one day of the week to help. 1
She also loves civic work, feel- w
ing that outside interests keep '
mothers and housewives from get
ting staid and uninteresting. Be
sides, she believes that women
play a necessary part in the affairs
of their church and community.
Since the organization of the
Lioness Club, which has a total
of 18 members, the club has pur
chased the drapes and curtains for
the Lions Club building, given 80
stainless steel place settings to the
men’s organization and has con
tributed other help.
For a club so young, Mrs. Tuck
er believes the Lionesses have
done a great deal to aid the Lions
Club.
Serving with Mr£. Tucker are
the other following officers: Mrs. . ,
Crafton Hudson, first vice presi
dent; Mrs. Hardin Hinton, second
vice president; Mrs. Martin L. Hag
wood, third vice president; Mrs.
Horace Gay, secretary; Mrs. George
H. Massey, Jr., treasurer; Mrs.
Alvin Beck, Lioness Tamer; and
Mrs. William Bunn, Tail Twister.
Directors of the club are Mrs.
Ray Goodwin, Mrs. Frank Kannon,
Mrs. Howard Massey and Mrs.
Frank Massey.
