They began raising a family of 8 children in Sioux Falls then moved to an acreage south of Harrisburg in 1972. Rolland retired and they moved to Canton in 2001.

Larry, Shaniah and Kolton, I’m so sorry to hear of your mother and grandmother’s passing. I know she was the best mom and grandma. I am thinking of you and keeping your family in my prayers.
To all of the Stuckey family.
So sorry to hear about Lucille. My sympathy goes to all of you.
Love, from one of the Bokker cousins, Lynda (Bokker) Burggraff
To all of Lucille’s family and friends. I was so sorry to see that this wonderful lady had passed. There are many years that my family and the Stuckeys went to church together and were friends. We also went to school with each other. All of you are in my thoughts and my prayers.
