May 7 1949 April 27 2020
Thedford “Ted” Tubbs, 70, of Indianapolis passed away Monday, April 27 in his home surrounded by his family. Ted was born May 7, 1949 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri to L.D. “Pete” and Coraline (Stone) Tubbs. Ted proudly served as a United States Marine from October 2, 1968 through March 14, 1971, seeing action in Vietnam. After service, Ted became proud father to two children. In October of 1992, he married the love of his life, Mary Hughes, and together they had two children. Ted enjoyed reading at home and spending time at bookstores, being outside in the sun, whether it was landscaping and planting flowers that Mary would bring home, spending time with his boys at car auctions and shows, swap meets and flea markets, or taking the entire family to Florida (especially Walt Disney World!). He would take Mary on trips to Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee to visit with friends and take in the attractions. He had an eye for women’s fashion, which worked well for Mary! Ted loved his family fiercely and always placed them above himself, spoiling them in anyway he could. More than anything, he loved his sweet granddaughters. Ted was an amazing son, brother, husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. Ted is survived by his mother, Coraline; wife, Mary; children, Andrew (Jennifer) Tubbs, Allison (Jake) Roberts, Alex (Rachel) Tubbs, and Addison Tubbs; granddaughters, Cora and Everly; siblings, Joe (Sandy) Tubbs, Diana (Rob) Neri, Rick (Linda) Tubbs, David (Tana) Tubbs, and Tracey Haddox; many nieces and nephews; and his beloved Dachshunds, Molly, Izzy and Maggie. In addition to his father, Pete, Ted was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Carolyn Mahaffey, and his best buddy, Max, his dog. Family will receive friends Saturday, May 2, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. to Noon at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 1977 S. SR 135, Greenwood, IN 46143 at a drive through visitation. Funeral service will follow at the graveside at 12:30 p.m. Due to the restrictions surrounding COVID19, this will be limited to 10 people. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Ted’s name may be made to Wounded Paw Project: www.woundedpawproject.org/
