Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To the family and Bobby. I am so sorry to hear of Jeans passing. I remember when I used to live across the street how she came up in our yard the day we moved in and introduced herself. We immediately all fell in love with her. Both my son’s Andy and Daniel Turner thought highly of her. She will be missed but is now in her forever home and not sick anymore.
May you rest in peace.
Jean and I have had many conversations, laughs and closeness during the years she became part of our family. I’ll never forget all the dances I’ve been to with her and dad and all the fun times we’ve enjoyed. Rest easy sweet angel, you will be greatly miss by all.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Jean for many years. She was a sweet, kind lady and I will certainly miss her at the Rocky Mount Singles Club dances. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and Bobby.

We are keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers. Remembering all of the fun times we had together working at the old Peoples Bank on South Church Street. Jean was loved by all of her customers. She always had kind words and words of wisdom. Now is her time to rest. Love Marvin and Gail Thorne.

I worked with Jean for many years at Retail Credit Company. She was always very sweet and caring. Even though this company no longer exists in Rocky Mount, the former employees still get together once a year in Rocky Mount. Jean was able to attend our last gathering in May 2017. I will miss her at our next gathering. SHe was a good friend.
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Jean Harrell Fuller. The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
