Crystal Mae Fuller

Crystal Mae Fuller, age 97, passed away peacefully at Bowers Hospice House on October 11, 2025, in Beckley, West Virginia. Born on February 5, 1928, in Boomer, West Virginia, she lived a life deeply rooted in faith, family, and enduring strength.

She was the daughter of C.D. Brown and Polly Mae Brown. Crystal was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 52 years, Ernest C. Fuller; her sons Earnest Crook Jr. and Hank E. Fuller; her brothers David Brown, Thomas Brown, Jackie Brown, and C.D. Brown; her sisters Mildred Shuck, Betty Chavis, and Barbara Jean Burton; and her grandparents Charles and Melissa Brown and Francis and Alberta Gilbert.

Crystal is lovingly remembered by her children: Joe Fuller and wife Marie of Crab Orchard, WV; Patricia Grasser and husband Lee of Mullens, WV; and Chuck Fuller and wife Amber of Beckley, WV. She also leaves behind her cherished sister, Peggy Hubbard of Red Springs, NC.

Her legacy lives on through 12 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She cherished the time spent with each of them and making her pumpkin pies for them to enjoy! She is also remembered by extended family and friends whose lives were touched by her presence.

A devoted member of the Mullens Church of God, Crystal served faithfully in the ladies ministry. When she was no longer able to attend church, she enjoyed visits from her church family, including her pastor, Rev. John Morgan and his wife Robin. Her days were filled with scripture, gospel music, and heartfelt prayer. In her seventies, she fulfilled a dream by boarding a plane for the first time and traveling to Israel—walking the sacred paths of her faith and deepening her spiritual connection. Crystal’s faith was bold and unwavering.

She was also an associate member of the United Mine Workers of America, reflecting her pride in community and solidarity with working families.

A heartfelt thank you from the family goes to the wonderful nurses and aides at the Raleigh Center in Daniels,WV who took extraordinary care of her during her twenty one months there. The family would also like to express their gratitude to the nurses and staff at Bowers Hospice House, who made her final days on earth, ones of peace and comfort.
