Jennifer Fuller Obituary

Funeral services for Jennifer Barrow Fuller, 45, of Hokes Bluff, will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 1, 2014, at Collier-Butler Chapel. Bro. Mike Garigues will officiate. The family will receive friends from noon until time of services on Saturday. Collier-Butler Funeral and Cremation Services directing.
Jennifer passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
There was a lot to be said about Jennifer Fuller. She was a graduate of Clarkstown High School, Abraham Baldwin College, Gadsden State Community College and Jacksonville State University. She had a beautiful smile, an infectious giggle and brown eyes that you could melt into. Jennifer was a poster child for Cystic Fibrosis. She was always upbeat and positive and never let her disease dictate her life. She never complained, even during her final days. Jennifer was told by doctors that with her condition, she did not need to attempt to have children. She wanted to be a mom, so she proved the doctors wrong. She even took in another son. Jennifer believed in living life to the fullest. She was a big Atlanta Braves fan and loved baseball in general. She even threw the first pitch at an Atlanta Braves game. Jennifer loved to sing karaoke, dance and travel. She also loved animals, which were a large part of her life. Above all things, she loved her family. They were the world to her and she adored each and every one of them. Jennifer will be missed by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Elsie Barrow; her brother, Phillip Barrow - who also passed of cystic fibrosis; and several loving pets.
Jennifer is survived by her husband and best friend, David Fuller; sons, Jonathan Fuller and Brandon Ward; sister, Susan McClennan; niece, Angie; nephew, Paul; great-niece, Ansley; and all of the crazy Hale family that she loved so much.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Cathy Smith, Suzanne Corbin, Cindy White, Michael O'Brien, Dave Thompson, Don Wilson, Paul Cody, the unbelievable staff at Emory University Hospital, Dr. Caplan, and to all of the amazing friends of the family that rushed to our side during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or for you to take your kids out for a pizza and a movie to make fond memories.

David, I am extremely sorry for the loss of you best friend/wife. As the days pass by, you will need to lean on your sons as much as they will need to lean on you. Together you will find the strength to move forward and ease each other's pain. We wish you the best in these coming months

Jenn was sweet and funny on the outside. She was determined and strong on the inside, to live a full live with CF. She raised two wonderful, caring, sweet teenage young-men - not easy under any circumstances, but she did it with grace and dignity under the most difficult of circumstance.. These two young men will carry forward her spirit, as will David and all who knew her. I too am grateful to have spent a little time together at last summer's reunion. Rest in peace, Jennifer.

Jennifer kept a positive attitude, despite her sufferings. She enjoyed telling me about Jonathan and Brandon when she came into work. When someone dropped a litter of kittens off at my front door, she was happy to adopt two of them, and loved to tell stories about what "Thomas" (named after Thomas the Train) and "Squeaker" had been doing lately. We will miss her, and are praying that her family will be consoled in this time of grief. May she rest in peace.

Mr. Fuller and Jonathan:
My deepest sympathy is with you both. Your wife/mother was always on top of things when it came to Jonathan's education. She was always in good spirits when I would see her at school events. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers!

David, Jonathon, Brandon and Jenn's family and friends, We followed your messages for the past few weeks and you brought us with you on your journey. We are heartbroken by the loss. We are grateful however, that we were able to meet and enjoy Jenn at our family reunion in June and while we might have been a bit overwhelming on first glance, she seemed to have such joy in being there with us. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have had the opportunity to meet her in person because she was truly a joyful person. It was also evident during all your posts over the past few weeks how much you loved her and she loved you. Sending you all warm hugs from afar. Love, your cousin, Kim
