Ruth Ione Bronson Fuller, almost 95-years-old, died in Riverton, Utah at the home of Judy W. Fuller (her daughter). She resided at 1050 South Main Street in Spanish Fork, Utah at the time of her death.


She was born December 1, 1914 at the home of her grandparents, Hyrum S. and Harriet Hunsaker Lewis, in Declo, Idaho. Ruth was the first of six children born to James Lewis Bronson and Alice Camila Lewis Bronson.


Ruth grew up in Springdale and attended Burley High School and was valedictorian of her Seminary class. She was active in Thespians Dramatic Club and Home Ec. Club and graduated in 1932 with high honors. She graduated from Albion State Teachers College in 1934. She taught school for two years in Oakley, Idaho and two years in Idaho Falls, Idaho.


She married Donald Hugh Fuller in Chicago, Illinois on December 24, 1937 and they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on June 13, 1938. They lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan and moved to Payson, UT in 1940. They then moved to Spanish Fork in 1956.


Ruth held many positions in the LDS Church, teacher in Primary, Relief Society, and Young Womens, and was also a member of the Relief Society Stake Board. She was an avid reader who loved the classics but loved her family most of all. Ruth spent ten years as an Ordinance Worker in the Provo Temple until she fell and broke her hip while working there.


With her husband she traveled the world visiting all over Europe, Russia, China, Iran, The Holy Land, South Seas, South America, Mexico, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, and Egypt, visiting temples in many foreign countries. She enjoyed her six children, twenty-five grandchildren, and forty-seven great-grandchildren. She was so proud of her twelve missionaries who served all over the world. She lived in her Spanish Fork home for over fifty-three years.


She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, a son, Larry Bronson Fuller, and one brother, Karl Lewis Bronson. She is survived by her children, Donald H. Fuller II (Marilee); Susan F. (Roger) Wilson; (Susan S.) Fuller; Ruthann F. Peterson; Jeanne F. (Kelly Brent) Lewis; and Judy W. Fuller; two brothers, Robert M. Bronson; James H. Bronson; two sisters, Naomi Judd; and Merilyn Reeves. She is also survived by twenty-five grandchildren and forty-seven great-grandchildren.
