Mary Patricia (Patty) Fuller

March 23, 1942 - May 24, 2023

Patty's favorite memories were from when she lived on her Uncle Marcelleno "Nino" and Aunt Stella's rodeo ranch. She loved being outside taking care of the animals. Her Uncle Nino gave her a calf she named "Proxy," a gift she carried in her heart and talked about until her passing. Aunt Stella made her a chocolate cake every year for her birthday while on the ranch. Chocolate cake was a birthday tradition up until her last birthday.

As a graduate in 1960 from an old country school, Hoehne High School, Patty grew up with country living, values, and influences. Her favorite subject was history and she excelled in every topic. She loved reading books on the history of the early frontier. Patty was also a very gifted artist; she won a drawing contest at a local jewelry store where she drew her own rendition of what the 'One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater' would look like.

Patty was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles #143 Auxiliary for 46 years. She loved donating items to raffle off for the charity fundraisers, spending time with family and friends, and playing the pull-tabs.

Patty is survived by her sisters, Margaret Chacon Gordon (Larry), and June Deguero Price (Arthur); daughter, Alice Fuller; sons Earl Fuller (Lori C.), and Larry Fuller; grandchildren, Aundrea F., Patty L., Kaeley W. (Kaylor), Caitlyn F., Raeanna F., and Lilly C.; great grandchildren Angelo F., Deztynionna W., Joshua L., Alisondrea F., Lilah F., and numerous relatives from California to Pennsylvania.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Earl J. Fuller; mother, Frances Duran Chacon; stepfather, Isaac Deguero; brother, Frank Chacon, and daughter, Debra Lee Fuller Kelley.
