Excerpts from the obituary of Emma Fuller:
We celebrate the life of Emma Fuller, nee Boucher, who passed away peacefully at the age of 99, at the Resurrection Life Center in Chicago on February 23, 2009. Emma was born of French Canadian parents Onesime Boucher and Celine Boucher, nee Duval, in Faribault Minnesota. She won a scholarship to Sacred Heart Academy and taught school in a one room country schoolhouse. She was one of the first women in town to own a car and the only woman to hit a cow in the road. Emma married Anthony Fuller in 1932 and moved with him to Chicago. She had three children...

During World War II, she and her husband packed up the family and drove to California where she worked in a "Rosie the Riveter" job for Standard Oil. They returned to Chicago after the war where she managed his painting contractor business until his retirement. She was a gifted cook and homemaker and loved literature, Pinochle and family parties.

Un grande dame, c'est vrai.
