Valoise Johnson Fuller, age 91, passed away August 18, 2020 at her home in Clinton, Tennessee. She was born in 1929 in Humphreys County, Tennessee. She was the fourth of Lloyd and Mary Johnson's five children, who all grew up on a farm on Big Richland Creek. After graduating from Waverly Central High School in 1946, she lived in Nashville for 25 years, working for the Tennessee Civil Service Department and for Nashville Water Works, and raising her daughters. She returned to Waverly in 1971 where she and her husband James W. Fuller owned a heating and refrigeration business. While in Humphreys County she was a dedicated member of Mariah Cumberland Presbyterian Church, serving as a Sunday school teacher and elder. After retirement she and Jim relocated to his hometown of Rockwood, Tennessee, and eventually to Clinton to be closer to family members. During her time in East Tennessee she was a member of Young's Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Kingston, also teaching an adult Sunday school class there for many years. She was devoted to her faith and her family.
