Virginia Fuller Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 8, 2017.

Virginia Correa Fuller was born on November 30, 1926 in



Dunsmuir, CA to Leandro and Leonila Correa. In 1935 the family



came to Stockton, CA and settled in “Chivo” on East Lafayette St.



Virginia was the oldest girl and 3rd child of 8. She went to local



schools and worked at the East Theater, The Esquire Theater



and the Target bar and restaurant. It was at The Target that she



met Bill Fuller who she later married and had a family with.



After marrying, Virginia became a homemaker and a caregiver to



her mother in law and also to her mother.



As a young mother Virginia could be seen outside roller skating,



or playing street baseball with her children and those in the



neighborhood. Virginia loved needlework, she enjoyed sewing,



embroidering and crocheting. She was also an avid reader.



She loved talking about the old days in Chivo and about her old



friends and neighbors she had during her life.



Virginia is preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bill,



siblings Paul, Salvador and Frances and a host of other relatives.



Virginia will be deeply missed by her siblings Elvera Deleon,



Tony (Griselda) Correa, Alice Castellon, and Manuel Correa.



Virginia is survived by her children, David and Debbie Fuller,



Nila and Joe Cordova and Lillie Fuller. She will be deeply missed



by her grandchildren Carla and Clif Hayden, Justin Fuller,



Jocelyn and Steven Payne, Joseph, William, Andrea and Alyssa



Cordova, David, Dale, and Patrick Hobson, Shelly Williams,



Brandi Fuller and great grandchildren Logan and Layla Payne,



Canyon Fuller, Sheldon Williams, Andrew and Julian Hobson.



She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.



The family would like to thank the amazing staff at Hospice of



San Joaquin especially Cindy, Regina and Josh. Thank you so



much for the loving care of our mother. We are grateful to our



neighbor Paul Wilson who visited our mom on a regular basis,



always bringing her flowers and gifts. Your kindnesses mean the



world to us.



Donations can be made in Virginia’s honor to Hospice of San Joaquin.



A visitation will be held at DeYoung Memorial Chapel on



Monday, September 18th from 3 pm - 6 pm with a Rosary at 6



pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Gertrude Church



in Stockton at 10 am on Tuesday, September 19th. A committal



service will follow at the San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery.

How lucky are we to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard. When I think of Virgina the one thing that sticks to my mind is strength.... I can only hope to have the strength and dignity one day that was possessed by this woman! May you Rest In Peace as you are reunited with your husband in eternity. Much love to those who's heart ache for the loss of such a beautiful soul!

My dear Auntie Virginia, like I said when I visited you, thank you for having me in your house so many summers, putting up with Lillie and my arguments and still having be back each year! Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you for those yummy beans and tortilla's. They were my favorite! If I had not got those two items to eat every time I visited I would have been very disappointed. You were a wonderful wife and mother and a great example for me and your own children. I know you will be missed on earth by many family members and friends, but how lucky you are to not suffer anymore and to be rejoined with Uncle Bill and so............ many others who have been looking forward to seeing you again in Heaven. RIP and enjoy your new journey.

As difficult as it is to no longer have Ms. Virginia there to hold, I know the many years filled with love and laughter you shared together will keep her with you always! I spoke with Ms. Virginia on the phone a few times, but it was through our many conversations where I feel I got to know and love your mom. She will be missed, but she goes to prepare our room, in the kingdom of our Savior and is always at your side!!
I love you Lillie, David, Dale and Julian you and all her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren as well as her other family members, will remain in my prayers. May peace be yours!
Love,
