Edna Jewell Newman Fuller, of North Little Rock, died October 18, 2018. She was born near Bigelow, Arkansas on December 5, 1920, the fifth child of John Henry Newman and Addie Gateley Newman. She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Haskell Fuller, siblings Ruby Puckett, Woodrow Newman, Pearl Merrill, Orville Newman, Gene Newman and a granddaughter, Rachel Renee Fuller.
She is survived by sons Edwin Fuller (Melissa) of North Little Rock and Charles Fuller (Cindy) of Washington, DC. She is also survived by two granddaughters, Becky Fuller (Jonathan Gitlin) and Sarah Fuller Phillips, and four great-grandchildren, all of Plano, Texas.
She worked through the years for the Crow-Burlingame Company, International Harvester, and the North Little Rock Housing Authority. Her favorite roles were, however, wife and mother. She loved being with her family, traveling with Haskell in their RV, and cooking for family holidays. She was loyal to a fault and smiled at everyone she met.
A graveside service will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at Griffin-Leggett Rest Hills in North Little Rock. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the Park Hill Baptist Church, the Rachel Fuller Memorial Fund with the Arkansas Baptist Foundation or the charity of your choice.
