Joyce Isola Fuller, age 90, born January 30, 1931, to Ted Rose and Lena Warfield Rose of Ingalls, Kansas, passed away Tuesday, May 18, 2021, at her home in Hutchinson, Kansas. She was surrounded by her loving partner of the last six years, Daryl Borg, and her family. She was faithfully cared for during the Pandemic year by Daryl. Her daughter, Debra and husband, Robert, shared in her care in Kansas during the last months of her life.
Joyce grew up in Arlington, Kansas, where she met and married Deryl D. Fuller, M.D. in 1949. They lived in Vista, California for one year during his residency, then moved to Marquette, Kansas, later, to Lindsborg, Kansas until his retirement when they moved to Cedaredge, Colorado. After "Doc's" death(1925-1998), Joyce enjoyed life with her childhood sweetheart, Keith Stull(1930-2010),for about a decade. They returned to Kansas prior to his death. She lived and traveled with her daughter and son-in-law, Debra and Robert, until she and Daryl Borg united.
When she and Daryl began their life together six years ago they enjoyed travel, but also delighted in just being together. Daryl remained steadfastly at her side, faithfully caring for her throughout illness and declining health. The family is deeply grateful.
Joyce was a gentle soul who loved poetry, literature, history, and art. She was a kind and attentive listener, non-judgmental, open, accepting, and appreciative of the uniqueness of individuals. Independent of mind, she did not insist that others bend to her way of thinking, but rather exuded the quiet integrity of a peacemaker. She deeply valued kindness, honesty, wisdom, and charity toward others. She raised three daughters.
She had a lifelong passion for flight, attaining her pilot's license in her 30's. At 90 she enthusiastically described the thrill of "lift off" with the unabashed joy of a young pilot.
She was predeceased by her parents and brothers, Wayne and Don Rose, her sister, Belva Mills, as well as her half-brother, Bud Rose. She is survived by her half-brother, Howard Rose, and two half-sisters, Pat Watermiller and Sharon Goble.
She is survived by her daughters, Linda (Aaron Ezekiel), Albuquerque, N.M., Debra (Dr. Robert Hayles) Manzanita, OR, and Lesa (Rick Beattie) Lawrence, KS. Her grandchildren, Matthew Dahlsten, Geneva and Savanah Fuller Ezekiel, Dr. Andrew W. Hahn, M.D., and Katie Barnett and her great grandchildren, Leo Dahlsten, Rainer and River Rose Erickson Hahn, Lena and Rosa Barnett will miss her presence in their lives.
The family wishes to thank the doctors of Hutchinson Clinic who cared for Joyce over the years, particularly, Dr. David Starkey, M.D. whose compassionate, exemplary medical care and knowledge is deeply valued.
The women caregivers Jennifer, Jill, and others of Hospice and Homecare of Reno County were beloved by Joyce. Misty F., Vicki H., Marybeth M., Carol C., Jessica E. and Lisa W. are all held in gratitude.
A private memorial will be held later. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions in Joyce's name be made to organizations of choice that address child poverty or hunger, or Hospice and Homecare of Reno County.
