Patricia Bell Bartlett Fuller died peacefully March 15, 2022.
She was born December 9, 1928, in Miami, FL. She was a graduate of Atlanta Girl’s High School and completed two years at North Georgia College where she met her husband Lennard. She was preceded in death by her husband of 20 years Lennard Lewis Bartlett and her second husband of 27 years Virgil Eugene “Gene” Fuller; her parents Robert Bryan Bell and Marion Bell; siblings Gloria Bell DuRant and Marian “Bud” Bell McCann.
She is survived and will be sorely missed in so many ways, by her daughters Ann Talbott and husband David Talbott, Lynn Walker and husband Jeff Walker, and son Jimmy Bartlett and wife Karen Bartlett; step-sons Robert “Skipper” McLean Fuller and Lawrence Eugene Fuller; grandchildren Shannon Talbott Alberts and husband Mike, Cody Walker and family – Taylor, Bryce & James Corey, Jeremiah and Joshua Bartlett; and great grandson Owen Alberts, all of whom had deeply loving relationships with Mom Pat/Gama. She was also a grandmother and great-grandmother to Gene’s granddaughter Whitney Fuller Wideman and husband Thomas Rutledge Wideman, and to grandson Clayton McLean Fuller and wife Kate Patricia Joy Fuller – and to their combined 5 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her many nieces and nephews who will miss their sweet Aunt Pat as the thoughtful woman she has been to so many.
She spent most of her early adult life as a homemaker and later worked outside the home for the Georgia Society of Association Executives and the DeKalb Medical Society as an executive assistant in Decatur, GA before retiring to live in Helen and Clarkesville GA for many of these last 20 years.
She was a faithful Christian and a long-time member of The Episcopal Church of the Resurrection in Sautee-Nacoochee, Ga. She was a lifelong Braves baseball and UGA football fan and might have just been waiting around until they could both win their respective championships to finally leave us all.
The family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the many caretakers and owners of Graceful Care assisted living and her final home for the last 3+ years, the medical staff of Habersham Medical Center for their compassionate end-of-life care, as well as the attention and care provided by Jody Tomas during these last several years of her life.
An intimate immediate family celebration of life is planned and we appreciate everyone’s prayers.
