Ethel Genevieve Fullmer

Ethel Genevieve Fullmer Feb. 19, 1921 ~ April 20, 2011 Ethel passed away suddenly at the age of 90. She was born in Newport, RI to Jeremiah & Clara Saulnier. She graduated from Newport H.S., class of 1939. She married her soul mate on Sept. 4, 1941 in Charleston, SC and stayed in Newport while her new husband went off to War. In 1949 they moved to Seattle and again in 1957 they moved to Tacoma where they raised their five children. She was a stay-at-home Mom and was totally devoted to her family. We will miss her beautiful smile and pleasant demeanor that made her so endearing. She is survived by her husband of 70 years, Lynn L. Fullmer, sisters Lillian DeAscentis and Pauline Hollandsworth, four of her children, Dotty Harwood, Mike Fullmer (Barbara), Pat Porco (Pete), Lucy Zinter (Wayne) and daughter Susan (Terry Dulin) Groshong who passed away in 2011; her 14 grandchildren, Tracy, Lisa, Cristine, Cathy, Susie, Chris, Jason, Jess, Jamie, Cheryl, Scott, Lori, Rachel, and Mike, and 32 great grandchildren.

A Memorial and celebration of her life will be held at Church of the Brethren, 324 E. 84th St., Tacoma, WA May 5, 2011 at 6:00 P.M.
