Obituary For Ella Mary Fulton

Mrs. Ella Mary (Phillips) Fulton, the first-born daughter of five children to Mr. Sylvester and Mrs. Ollie Pearl Phillips, was born on February 12, 1950, in Kosciusko, MS.

Mary attended Tipton Street School (Bobcats) where she graduated in 1968. She excelled in her learning, as she was a fanatical reader, and enjoyed her basketball life. She received her early spiritual learning at Wesley United Methodist Church. She ventured up North to Detroit, Michigan for several years. Upon her return home, she worked at Bluff Springs until her mother's health required her to become her primary caretaker. She spent her latter years enjoying her grandchildren.

After a long battle with illness, she departed as our Heavenly Father summoned our dear mother to be reunited with her parents, siblings, niece and nephew.
