- Charlene Fuller Obituary
Mrs. Charlene Ford Fuller, age 84, left this earth to be with Jesus Tuesday morning, December 10, 2024, at her home in Rosevine.
She was born April 30, 1940, in San Augustine, Texas, to AJ and Ovator (Forse) Ford. She grew up in Chinquapin, Texas, and had lived in Rosevine, Texas, since about 1971.
Charlene's first job was at Adkinson's Candy in Lufkin, Texas; she also worked in the school cafeteria in Channelview, Texas, and she retired from Temple Industries where she worked as hard as just about any man. She also retired from San Augustine School Cafeteria, with Teachers Retirement, so she could take care of her great-granddaughter, Stori Rae Forbis, the light of life. She said the only job she ever quit was at Tyson Chicken; her and her dear friend Dorothy "Dobbin" Chambers lasted about a week--they were supposed to pull out the "craw" or "crawl," not sure what it was called. Mom didn't know either and she said she never figured out what she was supposed to grab and pull out of those chickens!
She attended Rosevine Church of God for many years. She loved her family deeply and was deeply loved by them. She loved Bingo and loved taking her little Stori to the VFW Bingo on Friday nights; she also had a love for the casinos and went often. She loved adventures and vacationing with all 7 of her sisters every year, places like Dollywood, Branson, and Las Vegas. She "floored" us when we went to see an impersonator show and found out she loved Steven Tyler from 'Aerosmith,' "who would've thought it!" She just had to get her picture made with him and once we went to Tammy's lakehouse (just all us girls) and we rode the "side by sides" late at night in the woods where it had flooded and she surprised us at how much she loved it! I heard stories of her joking and pulling pranks when she worked at Temple, but once the joke was on her when she got caught on the train you had to cross over to get to the Dairy Bar to go eat lunch. I think she went almost to Brookeland, probably not, but Uncle Wayne, who also worked at Temple had to go pick her up--I don't think she ever lived that down.
Charlene leaves behind to cherish her memory: son, Steve Fuller; daughter, Doris Butler and husband Gene; daughter, Sandra Spaugh and Scott; grandchildren, Jessica Forbis and husband Jason, Heather Fuller, Rachel Spaugh, and Chet Spaugh; great-grandchildren, Stori Forbis (The Absolute Apple of Her Eye), Lysander Keco, and Briseida Keco; sisters, Claudine Burks and Ed, Barbara Gillespie, Freda Wiggins and Jimmy, Carolyn Miller and Marlon, Brenda Lee and Danny, and Delores Jones and Skipper; brothers, Ozay Ford and Jeannie and Spicer Ford; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, AJ & Ovator Ford; husband, Herman Dalton "Jr" Fuller; twin sister, Christine Hardy; and brothers, Ricky Ford and Gene Ford.
HEAVEN HAS GAINED A WONDERFUL ANGEL, WHICH WE WILL MISS GREATLY; MOM I HOPE YOU ARE SITTING ON YOUR PORCH, NEAR JESUS, WITH MAMAW AND PAPAW, WATCHING DAD HAULING HAY OR MESSING WITH THE COWS.
