     Iola Luelee Fuller was born in Martinville, Ark., on Sept. 12, 1921, to Orval and Bonnie Geary. She died on July 8, 2001, at her home in Bingen, at the age of 79.
     Luelee and Upton Fuller were married March 3,1939, at Dennard, Ark., and lived in Elberta. Ark., until they came to Washington in 1953, for the first time. They have lived in Bingen since Oct.18, 1956.
     Mrs. Fuller was a member of the Bingen Assembly of God Church. Going to church was her life; she enjoyed working in all areas of the church. She served as board member, WMC president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, Sunday School teacher, CA leader, Booster Band leader, SS secretary, church secretary/treasurer, and janitor.
     She also enjoyed helping others, crocheting, embroidering, quilting (she quilted five quilts for each of her children), and getting together with family, which was so important to her. When great-grand-daughter Kaity Hall was born on her birthday, that was a delight to her. Singing Southern Gospel music and eating watermelon on sunny days at her children's homes were good times, too.
     Mrs. Fuller is survived by her husband, Upton Fuller; children Clarence Fuller, Bingen. Joan and Charlie Long, Bingen, and Bonnie and Erik Lund, Washougal; sisters Ruby Knight, Spartanburg. S.C., and Monteen Reynolds, Marshall, Ark.; seven grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
