With heartfelt sorrow, the family of Wanda Lee Fuller announces her peaceful passing on July 21, 2025, at the age of 84. Born in Seminole, Oklahoma, Wanda lived a life marked by deep faith, boundless love, and unwavering devotion to those she cherished most.

She was born to Claud and Elsie Ellis, both natives of Millcreek, Oklahoma, whose legacy of love and resilience she carried throughout her life.

She was married for 66 treasured years to her devoted husband, Roy Fuller, who survives her. Together, they built a home filled with laughter, strength, and lasting memories, welcoming generations who carry her spirit forward.

Wanda was the proud mother of four children: Donna Eldridge/Lee (son in law deceased) , Brenda Fitzgerald, Louis Fuller/Brandi, and Lonnie Fuller/Wendy. Her life’s legacy continues through 10 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren, which makes five living generations—a beautiful reflection of the family tree she nurtured with love.

She considered her family her greatest achievement in life. Wanda loved nothing more than gathering with her loved ones, preparing far too much food just to ensure no one ever left her home hungry. Her table was always a place of comfort, conversation, and unconditional love.

Wanda embraced life’s simple pleasures with joy and a touch of adventure. She loved to fish, camp, collect knick-knacks, go to yard sales, and make fun memories during trips to the casino, where luck and laughter often met with a wink and a smile. Wanda also loved the many trips that her and Roy took on their motorcycle. They traveled many miles exploring the country, always prepared, rain or shine to enjoy the adventure they were on.

She is also survived by her brother, Glen Wayne Ellis, with whom she shared lifelong love and memories.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, Claud and Elsie Ellis; her sisters Ethel Reeves, Claudine McClendon, Glenda Carter; and her brothers Johnny Ellis and Jerry Ellis. Their spirits are joined once again in heavenly reunion.

She will be remembered for her quiet strength, kind and welcoming nature, and unwavering commitment to family. The ripples of her presence will continue to touch life for generations.

A celebration of Wanda’s life will be held on August 23rd at Day 3 Church (1111 South Miller Avenue Farmington, NM) at 11:00 AM

"Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." — Proverbs 31:28
