Carol Deborah Brown Fulton, 66, returned to her heavenly home on Monday, March 9, 2015, after a valiant battle with a long illness. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God the Father and Jesus Christ supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Carol was blessed with a large and loving family. She married her best friend, Richard Carl Fulton on June 25, 1966 and together raised their three children, Tracy Ann Fulton, Deborah Kaye Fulton, and Carl Richard Fulton. Together they raised their three children with love, patience, and a strong understanding of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. Carol was a strong woman, outspoken sometimes and other times she was softspoken, gentle and loving. She loved God, her husband, and her family more than anything. She was a devoted Christian wife and mother. She is dearly missed by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she is at peace with her creator. Carol is survived by her husband, Richard; daughter, Debbie Martin; son, Carl Fulton and wife Heather; grandchildren, Jonathan Matthews, Jacob Matthews, Jessica Martin, Samantha Martin, Daniel Riley, and Abigail Fulton.
