Louise Marshall Fant Fuller, 84, long active in the Knoxville TOS chapter died Friday Dec. 6, after suffering from Alzheimer's for a number of years. Lou was very active the TOS' efforts to preserve valuable public owned property, such as the Eastern Wildlife Management Area, Lakeshore Park, House Mountain State Park and as the Vice Chairman of Mayor Victor Ashe's task force for Sharp's Ridge. She was named one of Knoxville's 200 as one aspect of the celebration of Knoxville's 200th birthday. Lou served as president and secretary of the Knoxville TOS Chapter. Lou was a retired instructor in the University of Tennessee English Department and earned her Master's Degree there. She is preceded in death by her husband, Dr. H. Woodrow Fuller. She is survived by a son, George Carey Fuller of Boulder, Colorado, daughter Margaret Fuller Sadler of Knoxville, four grandchildren, a sister, and a brother. The family will receive friends at the home of Margaret Fuller Sadler during the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 22. Longtime members will remember this home at 710 Forest Heights as the site of many TOS committee and planning meetings. Memorial service and internment will be in Anderson, SC, at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to TOS, c/o Jerry Hadder, 18 Rockingham Lane, Oak Ridge, TN 37830 or Friends of the Smokies, PO 5650, Sevierville, TN 37864, or the Knox County Public Library, Sequoyah Branch, 1140 Southgate Road, Knoxville, TN 37919, or to the library of your choice. Louise's passion for the important causes she championed should serve to inspire all of us. Sadly many of us feel that we lost Lou some years ago when her brilliant mind was dimmer by Alzheimer's. And I well remember her passion for writing the English language correctly and concisely, and I can only hope that this note does not contain too many words or punctuation errors which would have attracted her red pen! =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation. ----------------------------------------------------- To post to this mailing list, simply send email to: tn-bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to: tn-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Topographical Maps located at http://topozone.com/find.asp * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the Tennessee Ornithological Society web site at http://www.tnbirds.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TN-Bird Net Owner: Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx (423) 764-3958 =========================================================
