Nancy was born August 1, 1938, in
Green Bay, Wisconsin to Thomas Lyman and Tressie Bergan Lyman. She married Robert Fuller of
Green Bay, Wisconsin on August 11, 1956, at Trinity Lutheran Church. Bob and Nancy said they picked that date so Bob could never forget their anniversary as it was also his birthday. He never did forget!
The couple had a son, Jeffrey, born February 7, 1958, and the family moved to
Butler, Alabama in September of 1958. A second son, Donald "Pat" was born August 8, 1961.
She was an avid reader, and in her early years, considered a book her best friend. She continued to be a voracious reader her entire life.
Christmas was her favorite holiday, and she delighted in carrying on her Mom's Norwegian traditions during the celebration of Christ's birth.
She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church located in Merdian, Mississippi and a member of the prestigious Mayflower Society through her dad's family.
She embraced the southern way of life and was proud to be an Alabamian. She loved becoming a "southern gal".
She was blessed to have the family grow by adding a loving daughter in law, Donna, two beautiful granddaughters, Wendy (Tim) and Whitney (Gray), and joyfully welcomed a great -granddaughter Mackenzie Moore, and a great-grandson Carter Moore.
She became a widow in 2001 upon the death of her husband of 45 years.
She was truly blessed to have a personal relationship with her Lord and be gifted with a loving family whom she cherished.
She is survived by her sons, Jeffrey (Donna) Fuller of
Butler, AL., Donald "Pat" Fuller of Foley, AL.; granddaughters, Wendy (Tim) Fuller of
Butler, AL., Whitney (Gray) Moore of
Butler, AL.; Great-grandchildren, Mackenzie Moore and Carter Moore of
