Greta Ellen Fullerton
1923-2012
Greta
Ellen Fullerton went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 31st,
she passed away at her home shortly after midnight, she was blessed
with having lived 88 good years. She has only struggled with her
health over the past year.
Greta was
born in Edgett's Landing, NB on October 13, 1923, the
daughter of the late Russell and May G. (Milton) Fullerton. She was an
active member of the Albert Mines Baptist Church for over 50 years,
having taught Sunday School and doing anything asked of her. She was
a veteran of WWII having served in the Air Force, she was stationed in
Nfld before the Confederation. She was a member of the Royal
Canadian Legion- Branch # 32 Hillsborough and also was very involved
with the Legion's Ladies Auxiliary for over 50 years as well, a
member of the Albert Mines Senior Citizens, Geri- Fitness and the
Tuesday Quilting Group. You could say Greta was very dedicated and
took an active roll in any group or club she got involved with, she
was not one to sit on the side lines. She took up golfing and scrap
booking in her 70's and enjoyed doing these activities with her
nieces. You could always count on Greta for every community event,
there were not very many wedding or baby showers, birthdays or
celebrations she missed. Greta was a pillar of the community and they
just don't make them like her anymore, she may not of had any
children of her own but she was like a mom to many and she was
definitely a very special aunt. Her family was very important to her
and she would always put their needs before her own. She will
definitely be remembered for her kindness, sweet smile and good
spirit. She will live on in the hearts of her loved ones
forever.
She will
be deeply missed by her sisters, Freda Murphy of Albert Mines, Audrey
Merrill of Riverview and Patricia Brown (Allison) of Moncton;
brother, Terry Fullerton (Betty) of Riverview; brother-in-law, Mac
Duffy of Riverview and sisters-in-law, Jean Fullerton of Trail, BC and

Besides
her parents she was predeceased by sisters, Jean. Mildred and Carol;
brothers, Gerald and Gerard.
She will
be resting at the Albert County Funeral Home with visitation on

on Friday evening at 6:45pm at the funeral home. The funeral Service
