of Earle, AR
July 3, 1930 - February 11, 2026
It is with a praise on our lips, a crack in our hearts, and a tear falling that we announce the passing of our Mother, Doris "Estelle" Anderson-Fuller, on February 11, 2026, at the age of 95, at home in Earle, Arkansas.
Estelle was born July 3, 1930 to Charlie Deford and Annis Wilson-Anderson, in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. When not working as a seamstress, you could find her teaching Sunday school, helping raise grandchildren, fishing, quilting, baking and canning for her family and friends. Her jellies and breads were coveted by all of the family!
Estelle loved her children and grandchildren, and is survived by a daughter of the home, Doris and James Fortner Sr., two sons, Danny and Mary Fuller of Earle, Arkansas, and Tim and Michelle Fuller of Duncan, Oklahoma.
In addition, her 16 grandchildren knew that she loved them, and prayed for them daily. They include, Desiree(Waldo) McWane, Brad (Joanie) Hardy, Mark (Melanie) Hardy, James Fortner Jr, Jeri Fortner, Joe (Mandy) Fortner, Kenny ( Heather) Fuller, Chris (Gena) Fuller, Crystal Fuller, Jerry Paul (Robin) Davis, Monica (James) Perkins, Nicole Fuller, Jeffery Stidham, Kayla Fuller, Vanessa Fuller and T.J. (Tosha) Fuller. 53 great grandchildren and 31 great great grandchildren, a host of nieces and nephews, friends and church family that loved her as much as she loved them.
Estelle was the oldest of 15 children, she leaves behind two brothers, Charles and Jeff Anderson, five sisters, Christine Dedman, Barbara Willis, Eunice Reynolds, Carolyn Stidham, and Patsy Mays. She is preceded in death by four brothers, Edward, Donnie, Gene, Delford (Anderson) and three sisters, Velma Alls, Charlene White, and Montine Williams.
She was patient, strong, kind, God fearing, God loving, a prayer warrior, hard headed, and very loveable. To know her, meant that you loved her. We have broken hearts, but we have peace in the knowledge of knowing that she has heard Jesus say, 'Enter Estelle, My good and faithful servant.'
There will be a private ceremony with her resting place in Crittenden County, Arkanasas. Memorials (in lieu of flowers) can be sent to Word of Life Church in Earle, Arkansas, or Sonrise Ranch (Teen Challenge ) 19792 NW Cache Rd, Cache, OK. 73527.
