Walter Rex Fultz

Walter Rex Fultz age 85 of Crawfordsville passed away in Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis, 12:30 AM Monday, May 20, 2024. Rex was born in Rochester, Indiana July 22, 1938 son of the late William M. and Edith E. Etnier Fultz. He married Elizabeth 'Betty Jo' Pritchett in Wingate January 18, 1958 and she survives.
Rex was a graduate of Jackson Heights High School in Tippecanoe County near where his family farmed. He served four years in the Army Reserves. He was employed by Raybestos in Crawfordsville until his retirement. He also operated the family farm while he was working off the farm.
He attended Harvest Chapel Church until his health failed and had belonged to the Montgomery County Pioneer Tractor Club. Rex loved tractors tinkering with them, playing with them and farming with them, especially Allis Chalmers brand. He fabricated two Allis Chalmers WD 45 tractors into one tandem hitched tractor. Which was a mechanical marvel!
He was a little on the stubborn side, but an excellent husband, father and grandfather. When time allowed he enjoyed fishing.
Surviving along with his wife 'Betty Jo' are three sons: Monte L. (Sara) Fultz of rural Waynetown, Scott A. (Janice) Fultz of Mustang, OK and Berne D. Fultz of Butler, IN. A Sister Marilyn (Russell) Hutchison of rural Crawfordsville and several grand and great-grandchildren also survive. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers; Max and Gene and a sister Elsie.
