Bio
Dessie Tucker Roper, 88, of Georgetown, Texas, passed away on Thursday, February 4, 2016, with her loving family by her side. A visitation will be held at 1 p.m., Monday, February 8, 2016, in the Chapel of Ramsey Funeral Home with the funeral service to begin at 2 p.m. Burial will follow in Fore Cemetery in Georgetown, Texas. Dessie was born in Andice, Texas, to the late John Rhea and Martha Alice (Williams) Tucker. Hard work was instilled into Dessie at an early age, which carried over into her career. She loyally worked for the Owens Illinois Glass Plant in Waco, Texas, for over 42 years. You wouldn’t catch Dessie out of the house without her hair done and her make up on. She was feisty, loyal, dedicated, caring, a sweet woman who would not hesitate to give you the shirt off her back or start dancing at the sound of music. Dessie loved life and would tell anyone that the best days of her life were the days her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were born. Dessie was preceded in death by her husband, Jiggs Roper; son, Johnny Wayne Allen; brothers: James E. Tucker, Aubrey H. Tucker, and Olen Tucker; sisters: Rosie Allen, Faye Tucker, and Alpha Green. Survivors include her daughter, Shirley Woodliff and husband, Carl; granddaughters: Joy Stokes (Todd Martens), Cindy Schneider and husband, Gregg, Tina Barron, Tina Dawson, and Stacey Woodliff; great-grandchildren: Reagan Sansom, Blake Cox, Hailey and Lauren Schneider; sister, Johnnie Good; twin sister, Essie Stephens; as well as many other nieces and nephews.
