Marian Rosetta Boyington Fuller was born May 2, 1923, in Mason City, Iowa, to Wayne Zelman and Eva Luella Davis Boyington. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd Fuller (1919-2008). Marian attended school in Bradford, Iowa; high school in Iowa Falls, Iowa, graduating in 1940, and attended Ellsworth Junior College where she got a teaching degree and taught rural and elementary schools, until she married Lloyd Fuller of Bradford, Iowa on June 13, 1944.

When Lloyd got back from serving in the US Navy, they moved to Alden, Iowa, where they worked together farming and then moved to Belmond, Iowa, in 1949. Marian worked right along with Lloyd in the fields, milking cows, and gardening for 35 years until they retired and moved into Belmond. She delivered Winnebagos with Lloyd and worked part time at Printing Services, Inc.

Marian enjoyed the time she and Lloyd danced – both square dancing and ballroom dancing; played bridge; fished and camped with family and friends. Marian enjoyed time with her family and treated everyone with their favorite foods including rolls, cookies, and sour cream raisin pie. Favorite pastimes for Marian were sewing, cross-stitching and making crafts. She was an active member of the United Methodist Church and United Methodist Women. She was a leader for Rochelle, Sharon and Janell’s 4-H Clubs for many years.

She is survived by four children: Rochelle (Ron) Hook of Coon Rapids, Minnesota; Sharon (Bob) Crane of Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia; Janell (Dick) Ringuette of New Bern, North Carolina; and Benjamin (Kathy) Fuller of Bondurant, Iowa; seven grandchildren: Kristine (Gregg) Sherrard, Jennifer (Joel) Johnson, Sheri (Mike) Kilbey, Stacey (Michael) Couch, Jon Ringuette, Stefanie and Ryan Fuller; two step grandchildren: Rob Crane, Amy (Kraig) Magas; twelve great-grandchildren: Alyssa, Matthew and Joshua Sherrard, Caleb, Grace, Luke and Nathan Johnson, Markos, Julia and Matthew Kilbey, Nicholas and Zachary Couch, and five step great-grandchildren: Logan, Margaret Alice and Anna Rose Crane, Jackson and Bennett Magas; and a sister Arlene Fox of Mill Creek, Washington. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and a sister Avon Prechel. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Belmond United Methodist Church or Care Initiatives Hospice (7055 Vista Drive, West Des Moines, IA 50266).
