St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

The Rev. Dr. Gail Tucker was ordained to the diaconate in May 2024 and began serving as deacon at St. Andrew’s in fall 2024.

She was raised in the United Methodist Church in Delaware and came to the Episcopal Church during college in Virginia. Gail worshiped at St. Anne’s, Annapolis for nearly 40 years including marriage to Chip (also a newly ordained deacon serving in Southern Maryland) and baptisms of their two children, a daughter who lives in DC and a son who lives in Michigan.

A desire to help others discern and implement ways they are called to serve led to roles such as Girl Scout Gold Award advisory panel and International Baccalaureate service coordinator. Longstanding ministries include coordinating retreats and praising God through music.

Gail earned her bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech, master’s from St. John’s College, doctorate from Walden University, and attended St. Mary’s Ecumenical Institute during deacon formation. She is retired from a 35-year career in chemical education which included teaching high school and college chemistry and grading Advanced Placement chemistry exams.

Gail enjoys being in nature during the day and doing cross stitch in the evening and is filled with joy for this later in life call to ordained ministry.
