     Born Judith Ann Arringdale on November 4, 1956 in Marshalltown, she was the
daughter of Jared and Donna (Walker) Arringdale. She graduated from Garwin
High School in 1975, then moved to Patricia Stevens College in Omaha, NE.
After she graduated, Judith lived in Southern California for a couple of
years, then returned to Iowa, where she would live for the rest of her life.
     In 1989, she married Samuel Fuller in Marshalltown, and remained in love with

Julie in 1990, and Kasie in 1992. She went on to Marshalltown Community
College in 1991, becoming a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Society and
graduating in 1993. She continued her education at Iowa State University,
graduating with honors in 1997. She also spent several years student teaching
at Collins-Maxwell MS-HS, helping middle schoolers with time, patience, and
kindness. She enjoyed scrapbooking, reading, playing cards and board games,
and discovering the hidden stories of family and ancestors through genealogy.
She loved talking with everyone; from her grandchildren, to her nurses and
fellow patients at DaVita Dialysis Center; from her siblings and mother, to
the cashiers at grocery stores. She is loved for her friendliness, creativity, and willingness to stick with her principles.
