Surrounded by her family, Mary Elizabeth Fuller, 84, of Greenwood Arkansas, formerly of Mansfield, passed away January 24, 2024 at a Fort Smith hospital. Mary was born September 11, 1939 in Hackett, Arkansas to Martin and Cora Holt. Mary grew up in Hackett and married her lifelong love, Lynwood Fuller on September 28 1956. They shared 48 years together, and their love never wavered. It was a simple life. Occasional hard times may have found them short on money, but they were never short on love. Five kids later, they proved to be wonderful examples to their children, teaching them the values of love, honesty, faithfulness and perseverance.
Mary never worked outside the home, but she surely worked inside the home! In addition to raising her own five children, she also played a huge role in helping raise her grandchildren and countless other children in the nearby area. She was loved by all, and she loved everyone back with genuine sincerity
She is survived by one brother, Johnny Durham (Dorothy) of Hackett and her children, Tony Fuller (Donna) of Anderson, MO, Brenda Agee of Rogers, AR, Chris Fuller (Sherry) of Kearney, NB and Ashli McClain (Derek) of Greenwood, AR.

Preceding her in death was her husband of 48 years, Lynwood Fuller; their son, Jeff Fuller; son-in-law, Rick Agee; five siblings and her parents.
At the end of her life, she was able to talk to each child and grandchild. Her simple but meaningful advice "Family and happiness are the only things in life that matters".
