Mrs. Puckett was born March 20, 1960, in Carthage, to Donald and Hazel (Lowe) Rogers. She married Kenneth Puckett on May 30, 1980. She had worked for O’Sullivan Industries for 13 years and then for Walmart for more than 13 years. Her great accomplishment was raising her boys. She was known for her love of family and was always helping someone out.

Mrs. Puckett was an avid Chief’s fan who did not give up on her team, even when everyone else had. She enjoyed flea markets and thrift stores. She truly enjoyed a bargain and found a reason to bring home a good deal even when it really wasn’t needed. She also enjoyed sewing, carnations and eating chicken at Gebhardt’s on Fridays. She always had a joke for her coworkers and was known to have a heart of gold.
