"Gayle Tucker, one of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s best-known female television
personalities, and a pastor, author, and counselor credited with lighting a fire under thousands of marriages, died less than a month after learning that she had pancreatic cancer. She was 60.
Tucker, associate speaker of the Faith For Today television ministry and co-host of its popular flagship “Lifestyle Magazine” program, died on Sunday, April 10, at her home in Dallas, Texas.
“I'm sorry to announce that Gayle Tucker passed away late this afternoon,” Mike Tucker, her husband of 40 years and the speaker and director of Faith For Today, wrote Sunday night on Facebook. “She was surrounded by family and died peacefully.”
Tucker turned to social media to chronicle his wife’s brief struggle with cancer and to underscore that their faith would remain strong no matter what happened.
He announced the discovery of the cancer on March 19.
“Two weeks ago Gayle began having strokes. She had zero stroke risk factors and yet she had strokes,” he wrote in the Facebook post. “It took almost a week and a half of MRI's CT scans and more before they figured it out. Gayle has pancreatic cancer that has spread to her liver. This cancer can cause strokes." FB
