Lola Fuller Black, passed away peacefully Friday evening at her residence at Calder Woods in Beaumont.
Lola was born to James Marvin Fuller and Janie Louise Blackwell Fuller.
As the daughter of a Methodist minister, she lived in many places in the Texas Panhandle during her childhood. When the family later moved to Denton, Texas, she attended a school associated with North Texas State Teachers College, allowing her to obtain college credits during high school. She continued her education at the college and graduated from North Texas with a degree in music at the age of nineteen. She came to southeast Texas to teach school and taught music in Nederland and Beaumont schools for several years. After her marriage to a young lawyer, Earl Black, in 1940, she moved to Port Neches where they lived for many years and reared their family.
While residing in Port Neches, she was an active member of the First Methodist Church. As an accomplished vocalist, she was an active member and soloist in her church choir. After she and her husband moved their residence to Port Arthur in 1968, she became a member of St. George's Episcopal Church, and subsequently the United Methodist Temple.
After the death of her husband in 2004, she moved to Calder Woods Retirement Community in Beaumont where she lived an active life and enjoyed many new friends. She transferred her church membership to Trinity United Methodist Church.
She was a founding member and past President of the Jefferson County Bar Association Auxiliary, and a longtime member of the Del Mar Garden Club in Port Arthur.
She was survived by her three sons, James Milton Black and his wife, Judith Oxford Black, William Earl Black and his wife, Martha Rain Black, and Robert Fuller Black and his wife, Brenda Buaas Black; by seven grandchildren, William Oxford Black and his wife, Adria de Leonibus Black, James Robert Black and his wife, Lori Elizabeth Black, John Milton Black and his wife, Lou Thompson Black, Katherine Gano Black, Robert William Black, John Benjamin Black and Julie Anne Black and by her great-grandson, James Milton Black II, and great-granddaughters, Elizabeth Oxford Black, Lucia Oxford Black and Lily Collier Black.
