Obituary for Mary Jane Fuller (May)

Mary Jane (May) Fuller, age 92, beloved grandmother, mother and wife, passed away the morning of March 24, 2022 at Silver Memories Healthcare/Nursing Home in Versailles, Indiana. She was born March 3, 1930 to the late Thomas Benton Sr. and Mabel (Welch) May in Pleasureville, Kentucky. Mary Jane was raised amongst a large family on a farm in Switzerland County, IN. She graduated from Vevay High School in 1952 and later attended cosmetology school in Louisville, Kentucky. On August 25, 1955, Mary Jane was united in marriage to Kenneth House Fuller and from this union, come 5 loving children. Mary Jane resided in various states in the U.S. and countries including Panama and Thailand while bravely accompanying Kenneth during his military career. In 1968, Mary Jane and Kenneth made Vevay, Indiana the place they called home to raise their children. Mary Jane was a loving mother and grandmother. She especially enjoyed her grandchildren, reading magazines, listening to music, caring for her cats and houseplants, ceramics, embroidering and sewing. She sewed many outfits for herself and her children as they grew. When she was well, she attended church at the Church of Christ with her daughter Angela. To all of those who know her, she exemplified a woman of elegant character, strong will and unending perseverance. As a resident of Silver Memories for the last five years, she was affectionately known as “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary” to which she would joyfully respond “How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells; and pretty maids all in a row”; a title that fit her personality to a tee. She had many friends at Silver Memories and will be especially missed by her friend June. They were like “two peas in a pod” and took good care of each other. Silver Memories was a blessing to Mary Jane and her family. She will be missed by the loving staff including those who were close to her; Julian, Erica, Kilah, Taylor, Kayla, and Tina.
