Obituary for Melvyn E "Cue" Rucker
Melvyn E."Cue" Rucker, 80, of Navarre, Florida, passed away Saturday, December 16, 2017, after a long struggle with serious medical conditions.
Melvyn was from Hitchins, Kentucky, and was one of four children born to Boyd and Jewell Rucker. The family moved to Grayson, Kentucky, where he attended high school and acquired his love for playing basketball. He was a U.S. Air Force veteran and attended college at the University of Kentucky and Morehead State University where he met and married his wife, Kay Williamson. He became an industrial painter and moved his family to New Lebanon, Ohio. After 30 years, he and his wife retired to Navarre, Florida.
He was preceded in death by two brothers, David Rucker who died at birth, his older brother Clarence C. Rucker; and his first great grandchild, Vanessa Jewell Smallwood.
Cue is survived by his wife of 54 years, Kay Rucker of Navarre, Florida; a sister, Pheba (Louis) Rupert of Fort Walton Beach, Florida; a son, Phillip Boyd Rucker of Germantown, Ohio; a daughter, Merinda (Matt) Bilotta from Northfield, Ohio; five grandchildren, Kirsten (Adam) Elligott, Marcus Boyd Rucker, Aaron (Shannon) Daniels, Ashtyn (Tanel) Rothla, and Lacey Renee Rucker; and six great grandchildren, Aubree, Chase, Kimmy, Callie, Aiden, and Brycen.
