Bette Joy Brown Fuller

March 6, 1930 ~ June 2, 2014

Bette Fuller passed away peacefully on June 2, 2014. She was born on March 6, 1930 in Pocatello, Idaho, the middle daughter of Henry Newell and Cecil Curtis Brown. She moved to Ogden, Utah when she was about 12 years old, attended Ogden schools, and graduated from Ogden High School in 1948.

Bette met her husband of 60 years, Mack Fuller, while hitchhiking home from Salt Lake with her girlfriends. They were picked up by a couple of sailors that had just gotten discharged from the Navy. One of those sailors, Mack, became the love of her life and they were married on June 25, 1948 in Eden, Utah. Mack died in 2008 and Bette missed him dearly.

Bette and Mack had two children, Vicki (Dennis) Jennings and Curtis (Holly) Fuller, 5 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Throughout her life Bette was active in many social and civic organizations, Xi Omicron chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, the Ogden Elks, Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, and Daughters of the American Revolution. Her career spanned 30 years with IRS retiring in 1990. Throughout her life she bowled, golfed, boated, and traveled with family and many wonderful friends. Bette and Mack were able to travel the world including Hawaii, the Caribbean, China, and Australia. They spent countless weekends at Flaming Gorge where Bette terrorized the trout with her infamous "Big Bertha" trolling rod and reel. In her later life she became interested in her family's genealogy and collected and compiled volumes of family history. She lived a wonderful life!

Bette is survived by all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by her younger sister, Shirley Line.

She was preceded in death by her older sister, Cecelia Woodman.
