Driven by an interest in history of the city's contribution to Australia's defence forces and wanting to recognise their service and sacrifice, Mrs Tucker started marking graves with a white cross in 2010 for Anzac Day.
Crosses were placed on 900 graves during the first year but it's since grown to 1020 as more information about people's service is revealed by their families and research.
"It has started to become a key part of Anzac Day in Griffith," Mrs Tucker said.
For the 10th year, Mrs Tucker planned to place the crosses with the help of Griffith Lions and Probus club members, before primary and high school students placed flowers at each grave and a commemorative service would then follow.

Mrs Tucker said having 500 school students gathered for a commemoration at the cemetery's flagpole was too much of a risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I'm expecting the restrictions to be in place for a little while yet," Mrs Tucker said.
"I'm hoping that everything goes back to normal for 2021," Mrs Tucker said.
The placing of white crosses for the city's ex-servicemen isn't the only tradition which has been disrupted because of COVID-19.
Hundreds of residents are preparing to remember the sacrifice and service of soldiers and sailors from their driveways on Saturday, and community radio station 2MIA 95.1FM will broadcast a commemoration service from 10.45am.
