Deborah Fullerton Obituary

Deborah Fullerton

Seymour - Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Deborah Fern Fullerton of Seymour, TN passed away Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at the age of 66. She was born in Warsaw, NY on February 26, 1955 and is preceded in death by her father Charles Bigelow, her mother Ruth Campbell-Bigelow, and her brother Reuben Bigelow. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 47 years, John R. Fullerton; her daughter Larissa Millsaps (Jonathan); her son Jack Fullerton (Kayla); five grandchildren (Alex, Hannah, Camden, Sadie, John Stephen); sister Carol McBryde (Lee); brother Tim Bigelow; sister Yvonne Bigelow-Marchal; sister Rebecca Williams (Bobby); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Deborah was a skilled cosmetologist for 30 years, but truly enjoyed the last few years of her retirement traveling the country with her family and embracing her talents as a proficient quilter. She was a devout follower of Christ, a devoted wife, and a loving, compassionate mother and grandmother. She had a naturally patient disposition, and her genuine kindness had an impact on everyone who met her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. The family will receive friends on Friday, May 28 from 5pm-7pm at Berry Highland South, 9010 E Simpson Road, Knoxville, TN. Friends and family will meet Saturday, May 29th at Berry Highland South Cemetery at 10:45am for an 11am graveside service with Pastor Paul Seay officiating.
