Mrs. Dean Fuller To Retire After Teaching 41 Years
Mrs. Dean Fuller, English instructor here for the past 22 years, will resign her teaching position in June. Her husband has recently retired, and they plan to travel extensively.
After teaching forty-one years, Mrs. Fuller feels that it is time to catch up on her traveling, reading and riding. She states, "I have liked my work at PJC very much. It has been a most rewarding and pleasurable experience."
She has always loved to read and becoming an English major was a natural choice. Both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees were earned at East Texas State University.
An expert horsewoman, Mrs. Fuller owns three horses, Danny Boy, a registered Tennessee Walker, and Pat and Dilsie, good grade saddle mares.
Along with her prime favorites, Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare, she really digs Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkle!
In college she was a member of the Sigma Tau Delta and Pi Kappa Delta. She is a past member of Delta Kappa Gamma and an inactive member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She attends First Christian Church. She is also a charter member of the Humane Association and is presently assisting in the annual dog vaccination clinic.
The Fullers live on twenty-one acres of oak trees and grass with the horses, a Persian cat, a standard poodle, a border collie, and a dachshund, Miz Hepsibah, who thinks she is people!

Obituary:
1907-2003 DEADWOOD - Former Paris, Texas, resident Myra Smith Fuller, daughter of the late William Harry Smith and Nancy Claudia (Price) Smith, and widow of the late Ellis Dean Fuller, died on August 3, 2003, at age 96, at Kirkwood Manor Assisted Living Facility in Deadwood, South Dakota. Before moving to Kirkwood Manor in 2002, Myra lived in the home of her son, William Harry Fuller, and daughter-in-law, Dorothy Estella Pollard Fuller, in Spearfish, South Dakota. She had been in declining health of late years, having endured a series of minor strokes, decreasing eyesight, and the encroachments of senile dementia which steadily robbed her of a lifetime of memories. However, her recollections of teaching in northeast Texas schools and of horseback riding on Texas roads and pastures remained sharp until nearly the very end of her life.
Born April 15, 1907, in Biardstown, Lamar County, Texas, Myra was the youngest of the Smiths' three children and was the baby of the family. She learned to ride and to love horses early and, in later years, claimed to have learned to ride before she could walk. Second only to riding, teaching was not only her vocation but also a lifelong love.
She first entered East Texas State Teachers College in Commerce in 1922 at age 15, leaving about 1924 to teach in a two-room school in Hopewell, Red River County, and then to teach English at Howland High School, near Roxton, from 1927 to 1930.
In 1929, Myra sneaked away from her home in Blossom just long enough to marry her late husband, Ellis Dean Fuller, son of William Thompson Fuller and Lillie Holman Fuller of Paris. The marriage, on October 13, was conducted secretly in Durant, Oklahoma, for married women were not then allowed to work as teachers, and, while she loved her new husband, neither did she wish to lose her job. Her mother, however, was told and could not keep such a secret overlong, sending a short wedding notice to The Paris News within a few weeks of the ceremony. Local school officials apparently chose not to read it, for Myra kept her job after all.
Returning summers to ETSTC, she received her B.A. degree in 1930 and her M.A. in 1937. During these years, she also taught English at Blossom High School, leaving there in 1946 to become an English instructor at Paris Junior College until her retirement in 1968.
Her energies were never limited solely to English teaching, however, for she also coached the PJC Debate Team from 1948 to 1960 and taught physical education courses in horsemanship at the college from 1962 to 1966. Thirty years after her retirement, in October of 1996, she returned to Paris to be inducted into the PJC Hall of Honor in recognition of the many years of service that she had devoted to the institution and its students.
Ever mindful of her heritage and of the contributions her ancestors had made to America and to Texas, Myra was admitted to membership in the Lamar County Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1943, to the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1979, and to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1980. She was a longtime resident of northeast Texas, leaving only after the death of her husband to reside with her son and his family first in Alaska and then in South Dakota. Her love for the oak-treed pastures and fertile fields of Lamar County never wavered or lessened, and her heart remained forever in the state and county of her birth. In accordance with her wishes, her body was cremated through the services of Carlsen & Aldinger Funeral Home, Spearfish, South Dakota, and the remains interred beside her husband and near her parents in Antioch Cemetery near her birthplace in Biardstown.
In addition to her son and daughter-in-law, she is survived by two granddaughters, Sherrie Anne Fuller-Benge of Billings, Montana, and Wendy Lea Fuller Torstenson of Hayward, Wisconsin, by four great-grandchildren, Morgan Monet Fuller Benge and Ryan Fuller Benge of Billings, and Drake Robert Torstenson and Jake William Torstenson of Hayward; two nephews, a niece, two grandnephews, four grandnieces, and two great-grandnieces.
In lieu of floral tributes, the family requests that contributions in her memory be made to the Myra Smith Fuller Scholarship Fund (Paris Junior College Memorial Foundation, 2400 Clarksville Street, Paris, Texas 75460); to humane associations; or to other charitable causes. Her surviving family can be contacted at 376 Lone Elk Road, Spearfish, SD 57783-8645.
Myra Smith Fuller's poetic nature, love of horses, and attitude toward death are all revealed in one of her oft-repeated quotations: "'The night comes down, the light burns blue, and at my door the Pale Horse stands to bear me forth to unknown lands.' You know, if Death is a pale horse, I shan't mind, I shan't mind at all. Horses and I have always been such good, good friends."
