Delmar Leon Fuller, 81, of Russellville, passed away on Monday, July 23, 2018 at ECM Hospital.
Mr. Fuller was a member of Spruce Pine Baptist Church and a deacon for 44 years. He was a retired auto mechanic in the Spruce Pine community and an avid bird hunter. He suffered with his health for many years, but continued to be an inspiration to us all. He had a heart of gold, a clever smile, and was the best husband, daddy, and papaw in the world.
