Jonnie Fuller

of Conway, AR

June 27, 1920 - September 29, 2015

Jonnie E. (Bryant) Fuller, 95, of Conway passed from this life on Tuesday, September 29, 2015. She was born June 27, 1920 in Enola, Arkansas to the late Jesse and Arlie Bryant. Jonnie grew up in Enola, and graduated from Enola High School in the 1937-38 school year.

In her mid-twenties she met and married William J. Anderson. She was a military wife for almost 31 years. She left this area to live her military life in 1946. She spent three and one-half years in Paris, France. While in France she made an effort to learn as much as possible about the culture of the native people. She later went to live 23 years in Washington D.C. and then North Little Rock, where she retired from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in 1984.

In 1986 she met and married William (Bill) Fuller. Together they enjoyed their twilight years traveling and competing in Ball Room Dancing.

She is proceded in death by her husband William (Bill) Fuller, brother, Mayo Bryant, nephews, Jack Bryant, Sam Bryant; two nieces, Sandra & Nagatha Bryant.
She is survived by two nephews; Jim Bryant and John Fuller; three grandnieces; Pam Nacke, Denise Benight and Jill Bryant and a host of friends including best friend Ginger Beene.

She loved southern Gospel music. She played the piano in church for her father who led the choir. She especially loved her family and close friends. She also loved to cook, crochet and knit. She was quite well known for her fried pies and molasses cookies.

She was known by many who knew her (both old & young) as ''Ms Jonnie'' or ''Aunt Jonnie.''

One of her more often repeated quote was ''It's not where you came from, it's whom you've become.''

Funeral services will be 10am, Friday, October 2, 2015 in the chapel of Roller-McNutt Funeral Home with Bro. Ken Gipson officiating. Burial will follow at Crestlawn Memorial Park. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service.

Ty Turney, Scott Fanin, Tim Nacke, Will Benight, Butch Campbell and Ronald Beene will serve as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Cecil Lasley, Kenneth Steele, Herbie Womack and Steve Self.

Over the past few years, I had the wonderful opportunity to get to know this amazing woman. She would come into my workplace and bring her delicious molasses cookies and talk to us about what was going on in her life. I became close friends with Ms Jonnie and I would often go over to her house and she would offer me a glass of her homemade lemonade and cookies while she talked about her life in Paris and Washington, D.C. as well as traveling around with her husband on their surprise road trips. She crocheted me a warm blanket when I left for college in Idaho so that I would stay warm. I would call her every month or so to check up on her and to let her know how things were going. I was able to see her the last time that I was home and enjoy her company. She had become one of my best friends and she will be missed greatly.
