Nana. What can one say about a person who was the epitome of love? There is not a person, who has been in her presence that was not a recipient of her genuine love.
Dorothy was educated in the Clarendon County Public School System in South Carolina. Shortly after the birth of her youngest child in the early 1960s, she and her husband, the late Eli Fulton, relocated from South Carolina to Paterson, New Jersey.
Dorothy was a nurse assistant and a home health aide, who was loved by all her patients. She provided premium care to all her patients and was a continued source of strength and support to her own family.
A devoted member of Mt Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Paterson, NJ, Dorothy served on many ministries. However, she was most comfortable in her white, starched usher uniform and her beautiful smile. After relocating to Georgia with her eldest daughter, she joined First Baptist Church Atlanta.
Her hobbies included baking, crocheting, knitting, and attending family functions stating proudly her title, Nana!!!
Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents and four siblings Elsie Stewart, Geneva Hanna, Linward McFadden, and Ruben McFadden. Her son Arant Fulton who served in the U.S. Army and her beautiful granddaughter named after her, Tiamesha Dorothy Fulton, preceded her in death as well.
She leaves to cherish her fond memory, five children, Elsie (Roman) Montgomery, Jannie Fulton, David (Denise) Fulton, Ivry Fulton, and Dwiane (Yvonne) Fulton. She was blessed with 11 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, 2 sisters-in-law Josephine McFadden and Edith McFadden, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
