Dana (Hardin) Tuck

Dana Hardin Tuck ran into the arms of Jesus on October 19, 2025. She was born on April 28, 1962 in Ocala, Florida to Bobby and Carolyn Hardin. Dana was a Broker/Realtor for American Landmark Real Estate reaching her 40th year in the industry this past September. She attended St. John Lutheran School for Kindergarten through 12th grade, graduating in 1980. She then earned her associate's degree at CFCC.

Dana married her high school sweetheart and soulmate, David Tuck, in 1986. Together they built a marriage and family that their children will look up to and remember forever.

Dana was a member of the Junior League of Ocala, Woman's Club of Ocala, Pioneer Garden Club, and the Ocala Royal Dames. She loved supporting her children's and grandchildren's schools and activities.

Whether it was being at the beach, cruising the river, tanning at the lake, or watching her grandchildren play outside - she loved to be in the sun. She also loved spending time with her beloved family and loyal dog, Dash, cooking up something delicious in her kitchen, and entertaining anyone and everyone at her house! Holidays were very special to her, as were cheering on the Gators and hosting tailgates. Family and friends absolutely made her world spin.

Dana is predeceased by her husband David, of 32 years. She is survived by her loving parents, Bobby and Carolyn Hardin; children, Danielle Hampy (Craig) and Dustin Tuck (Ashlyne); sister, Lori Hardin Stephens; in-laws, Bill and Gail Tuck; four nephews; and two nieces. She also leaves behind her three precious grandchildren who called her “Honey" - Hayes Hampy, Charlotte Hampy, and Boone Tuck.

A memorial service will be held at Church of Hope (3233 SE Maricamp) on Sunday, October 26th, at 2:00pm. In remembrance of Dana, the family has asked that attendees wear any bright and fun color that reflects her personality. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hugs Charities of Ocala at hugscharities.org. Condolences can be left for the family at robertsofdunellon.com.
