This beautiful woman blessed the lives of everyone who knew her. She always had a kind word, a smile and the love of God in her heart. She was the lifeline and inspiration for all her family and many others. What a tremendous wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She loved taking care of and driving her POW's (Pat's Old Women). The doors of heaven have opened wide to welcome home the dear angel who lived among us.

Mrs. Fuller was preceded in death by her husbands, John R. Reese and Thomas E. Fuller; her parents, Crawford Brooks and Bonnie Atkins Brooks; one brother, Billy Brooks; one granddaughter, Chloe Rickman.

She is survived by her children, Debbie (Furney) Griffin of Spring Hill, TN, Lynn Fuller Gibson of Martin, Ricky Fuller of Florida, Jack (Gale) Reese of Martin; Chris Fuller of Franklin, TN; brother and sister-in-laws, Bob and Peggy Brooks of Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Nell Brooks of Springfield, TN; 10 grandchildren, Shanna Fuller Veach, Tisha Fuller (Nick) Pitarro, Lisa Moss (Mark) Swaim, Dusty Gibson, Monica Reese, John (Jennifer) Reese, Natalie Griffin (John) Lynch, Nathan (Rachel) Griffin, Brooke Fuller and Sadie Rickman; 19 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
