Marie Lopez Fulton departed this world Saturday, September 7, 2024, at 10:45 pm. After a long battle with cancer, she passed away peacefully in her sleep at home in Trivoli, Illinois. She was born February 20, 1951 in Jennings, Louisiana, to Wilbert and Mildred (Broussard) Lopez. She was their eldest daughter.
Marie is survived by her husband of 54 years, Bruce Allan Fulton, along with their 3 children; Rachel (Jody) Ogea of Texas, Nicolle Marie (Lance) Brooks of Bushnell, IL, and Scott Fulton of Ipava, IL.
Left to cherish her memory are her siblings; Clifford (Becky) Gillespie, Cathy Kendall, Steve (Eva) Lopez, Jimmy (Liz) Lopez, and Diana (Arnold) Bouley, all from Marie's home state of Louisiana, and their 12 Grandchildren: Joseph (Ashley) Ogea, Tyler (Brianne) Fulton, Tori Gaffney, Emily (Hayden) Moore, Summier (Ryan) Lewallen, Rachel Marie Ogea, Andrew Ogea, Samuel Brooks, Laura Grace Ogea, Margaret Ogea, Charles Ogea, and Isaiah Brooks.
Marie was blessed to have 9 great-grandchildren, "The Greats!" - Elizabeth Moore, Violet Fulton, Winnifred Moore, Jane Marie Lewallen, Charlotte Gaffney, Fulton Gaffney, Leo Fulton, Victoria Moore, and Madeline Lewallen.
Marie was a Respiratory Therapist for over 40 years, serving in Canton & Havana, Illinois areas, and in Louisiana throughout her career.
Beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt, godmother, cousin, and friend. Marie loved spending time with her family, even if they all had to be quiet when Jeopardy was on. She was an avid reader, world traveler, tea drinker, and the best Scrabble player. Our lives were infinitely better for having known her.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at Sedgwick Funeral Homes & Crematory in Canton, where visitation will be from 10:00 AM until the time of services. Father Timothy Nolan will officiate. Cremation rites will be accorded. Burial of ashes will follow the services at Shields Chapel Cemetery. Memorials can be made to the Shields Chapel Cemetery.
